Yosemite

So once again my mom wanted to go to Yosemite and so we asked some friends to go along with us. They ended up not being able to come so I asked one of my friends if she would like to come with us. She was able to so we headed up to Yosemite the next day! Since the next day was May Day, we made a little paper cone with lavender in it for our neighbors. We make a little something for them every year and I really enjoy it. So I had to get up early that morning to deliver all of the cones. After that we headed to my friends house and then headed to Yosemite! I have to admit that even though I don't like going that much since we go a lot, it was a pretty fun day!

So here is some pictures that I took that day. :)

This is one of the first pictures I took that day. The river was going very fast!

 This is Mirror Lake. I can see how it got its name ;)

 This almost looks like something out of the Lord Of The Rings...

 Look! I found Kristof's family! 

 This is very popular in a lot of national parks. There is one spot by Mirror Lake that has a lot of them. So here's the one I made.

 I loved the look of this tree and that it was growing on a rock!

 There was lots of Dogwood trees in bloom and they were all very pretty

 This is one of the popular spots to get a picture of Half Dome

 This is where you can get a good view of both of the Yosemite Falls

 This is the Lower Yosemite Falls. It was really windy we did get wet!

 Selfie!

 Another picture of the Falls

 Tunnel View

 A panorama shot and there a random dog that photobombed... Lol

 Another panorama shot

 Here is the little U.S, Geological Survey.

 Heading home! 

The sky was beautiful on the way home

So that is all for today. Sorry for the picture quality. I had them edited on my iPod but then when I save them onto my computer it doesn't have the edited version...  So sorry about that. But I hope you enjoyed looking at all the pictures!

Exploring and Re-enacting

So, me and a friend when to the Exploratorium for the day and then just this weekend we were Civil War Re-enacting (which I didn't get a lot of pictures). I got braces on Wednesday which have been very painful and a mouthful. So I guess I should get on with the pictures. :) I will start with the Exploratorium and then move on to the Civil War. So here we go!

 Here's where we sat down to eat lunch and I had to take a picture because the of big fluffy clouds!

This guy had been working on this for I think about 30 years! It is all made out of toothpicks and he's still not done! Yikes!

 We were almost to the Ghirardelli place but we made sure we stopped to rest since it took us quite a while to get there!

 Waiting for our ice cream......

And it came! Yay!

Sorry there wasn't very many pictures of that day. :(

 I had to throw in this yummy milkshake that my mom made because it was so good!

 On the way to the re-enactment

 The clouds were amazing driving up there

 One of the pictures that I'm proud of! Even my mom said she was impressed!

 The sign on our tent

 This is where I hung out most of the two days

 Some games. Graces is the hoop and sticks and then the other one is cup and ball which is quite fun!

 Pots 

 Some cups

 Our lantern 

 Our camp

 I was playing around with different shots

And last but not least, a picture that I drew while I was there. I made it using pastels that I brought with me and I think I'm going to hang this one of the wall! 

So that is all for today, I will post again when I have more pictures! :)

Random Things

Today is just some random pictures to tide you over until I have some thing exciting coming up! :) There are pictures from Instagram and some other pictures from just different things that have been going on. I hope you enjoy!

We went to a Civil War re-enactment this last weekend and this is a panorama shot of the battlefield

The battle was delayed a bit so I took a picture of a little flower I found 

There's the union! 

One of the units came up closer to us so I got a better shot 

I was going to take more pictures of flowers but I ended up hanging out with some friends that were there so I didn't get that many except for this one

Here is a short video of them shooting

Today was a nice enough day to go outside and read! I was excited! 

Drama was so much fun! I really enjoyed working with all the friends that I made! I was really sad that they won't be continuing drama but I will hopefully find something else to start doing

We finally got to see Thor: The Dark World! My mom got it at the Redbox and I got really excited! Best mom ever!

Best holiday ever

This awesome girl came to one of my plays! I was so excited! She is the most awesome friends ever!

And finally Spring is here! Yay! Spring is one of my favorite seasons, except for the allergies.. 

Thanks for reading! I will post again soon! :)
