California!

We Are In Cali!
Today We Have Been Driving Around California, We Stopped At Mono Lake, And I Learned That There Was A Volcano In Mono Lake That You Couldn't See Cause The Water Level Was Too High And When The Water Level Dropped You Could See What The Volcano Left, And It Was A Huge Island Of Black Rock. We Left Mono Lake And Drove To Yosemite. We Had Very Beautiful Pictures Of The Blue waterfalls, The Snow Capped Mountains, The Wild Life And Every cool Looking Tree That My Mom Saw. In Yosemite We met Our Neighbors, Penny And Mike. They Were A Very Nice Couple. When Ever We Got The Chance We Would Go For A hike To Try And Meet New People. We Also Went For Hikes Just To go For Hikes. One Time We Were Hiking And We Saw A Little Meadow, It Looked Beautiful! My Mom Was Freaking Out About Every Little Chirp She Heard Though Cause There Was A Sign That Said That Mountain Lions Chirped, So She Would Say " Oh My Goodiness! Was That A Chirp I Just Heard!?" Me And My Dad Would Laugh While Lana Kinda Hid Behind My Mom. We Left The Meadow, And Started Heading Back To Camp. Yosemite Was Super Cool. There Was Lots Of Cool Stuff To Learn. Did You Know That A Sequoia Tree Needs Fire To Re-produce. I found That Out While Reading A Pamphlet. I Have Been Reading A Book For Science That Has Lots Of Cool Facts In It, For Instance, Did you Know That The Largest Centipede Ever Found Were In Tropical Climates And Can Be A Foot Long With as Many As 340 Legs! Eww. There Was Lots Of Cool Things To See In Yosemite, Like The Meadow, The Neighbors Freaking Out Cause There Was A Cat In There Campsite, And All The Cool Animals. The Day We Left Yosemite I Was Exited Cause We Were On Our Way To Brady's House. Before we Made It There We Decided To Make Some Stops And Stay At New Melones. New Melonies Was A Cute Little Lake With Lots Of Wildlife Everywhere! There Are Rattle Snakes, Bob Cats, Raccoons And Many More, Even Though We Saw Only Fish And Frogs, It Was Still Awesome To Be There. Everyday It Was Super Hot And We Swam For Hours. One Time We Were Swimming and Found These Tires That Were Chained of The Bottom Of The Lake And There Were People On them So We Waited And Swam Over To Them Once the People Left And They Were All Slimy And Gross but We Climbed Onto Them and Sat There Trying To Rock Them For A Little While And Then looked Behind Us And There Were More People On Tires That Were Chained together in a Long Line, and The people Were Jumping On Them. After We Swam In The Lake For a Few Hours We Left and Took Some Awesome Rocks That We Had Found Up to Camp. The Next Day we Realized We Couldn't Find The Camera. And We Never Found It. It Had Amazing Pictures On It. But That's Ok Mom, we Love You!(:
We Left New Melones And Stared Driving... Even Though We Were Not Exactly Sure Where We Were Going, Except That We Were Headed To Santa Cruz!

Trying to Find Out Where We Were Going Was Fun Cause We Stayed At A Safeway!(: One Thing That Really Made Me Sad Was That We Had Let My Kitten Out So She Could Go To The Bathroom, And We Went To sleep, Well The Pressure Washer Must Have Scared Her Away Cause We Sat In The Safeway Parking Lot For Hours Looking For Her. After We Finally Decided That Her Being Here Where An Old Lady Could Find Her And Give Her Lots Of Love Was Better Than Her Being In The RV, Which She Hated. After We Left Things Were Sad But We went To The Beach In An Attempt To Cheer Up. At the Beach We Saw This Little Cliff And Went Up On it And Found This Really Cool Little Place With Star Fish, Snails And A Whole World Of Little Creatures. Lana And I Were Looking At The Creatures And I Slipped Into The Water. I Was Being a Dork And Was Wearing Sweats.. At The Beach. So I Guess I Kinda Deserve That. When We Left The Beach We Got Directions From Yarah, To Her House. We Found There House And Talked For A Little While, Then Lana, Brady And I Went For A Hike Through The Woods. While We Were Hiking We Found a Little Stream/Creek, Well I Am A klutz And I Must Have Stepped/Tripped Into The Creek About 5 Times, And I Even Tripped Another Time, (Not Into The Creek) But When We Were Goofing Around. We Kept Walking And Found The Road And Decided That It Was Probably Best To Take the Road Instead Of Risking Me Falling Flat On My Face Into The Mud. ( Well That's Why I Wanted to Take the Road) We Walked For A Little While And Picked Some Grapes That Were Very Yummy. Once We got Back, We Got Our Stuff Ready for Bed, Cause It Was "Getting Late" And Got Hotdogs To Make In the Yurt. We Ate And Planned On Making Marsh mallows, And Playing Monopoly, But Plans Change... And You Get Tired.
I Love Sleeping In The Yurt, It Was Super Fun.(: On Wednesday, We Drove To Town And Went To See a Monarch Butterfly Trail, And we Each Learned New Stuff Like The Monarch Butterfly Only Has to Drink water One A Week. After We Learned Some Stuff, We (Lana, Brady And I) Went To The Board Walk. We Played Games In the Arcade And We Took Lana To The Beach So That She Could Chase All the Birds Away. (And They Came Back) After We Were Done Looking Around And Playing Games the Parents Picked Us Up And We Went And Got Tacos, And Headed Back home, And in the Car Lana Fell Asleep, And We Put Her In The RV When We Got Back And She Slept While, My Parents,Yarah And Brady, All Played Poker ( I Was Falling Asleep And Did Not Play Though) So After I Got Too tired I Went To Bed.
I Am Never Cold In The Mornings (Cause I Have A Habit Of Stealing Blankets!) When we All woke Up We Put Away All The Blankets And Got ready for The Day. Brady, Lana And I (Oh, And Cooper) Went and Picked A Bag Full of Grapes And Hung out In The Vinyard For a Little While, But on Our Way Back Cooper decides He Wants To Try and Catch A Chicken! He Chased It Around the Neighbors House And Disappeared. We Called his name and whistled For Him, But He Wouldn't give up. Finally We See Him And... He Failed. But That's Good Cause That Chicken, Could Have Eaten Him.
On Friday, I Woke Up At Like 5 and Could Not Go Back to Sleep. So I Looked At Lana And She Was Wide Awake, Looking At Me With Her Eyes WIDE OPEN, And She Was Smiling, At First I Thought Maybe She Was Sleeping With Her Eyes Open And Just Having a Good Dream But, Nope, She Was Awake. I Looked Over At Brady, And He Was Awake Too. I guess None Of Us Could Sleep That Night. After we Got Up And Put Everything Away, We Jumped On The Trampoline Until We Had to go to Town to Do Laundry. While The Laundry was Drying, And The Parents Were Doing Errands We Went to the Park. The Park was Fun, Except Those Stupid Spinning Things That Make Me Want to Throw Up.(: But I Still Had Lots Of Fun. We Drove Back After Folding Laundry And Walked Around This Little Waterfall. Brady Went And Climbed Around Like a Monkey And My Mom, Yarah, And Lana Followed. Well My Dad Said, " Hey, Tea Lets Freak Mom Out And hide." So We Hid Behind This Huge Log And I said " Mom Is going To Scream For You." And Right After I Said That, My Mom Screamed "MIKE!" Have You Ever Tried Laughing And Trying To Be Quiet At The Same Time, It's Pretty Difficult. Well, Once They Got Down Toward the Car, My Dad Said, " Okay, Lets Go." So We Left Our Hiding Spot And We All Piled Into The Car And Drove Back Home. Brady, Lana, and I Got Our Sleeping Stuff And Went to "Sleep."
Weekends Are Normally Great! Not This weekend Because We Are Leaving On Sunday. Saturday, Yarah Had To Leave For A couple Of Days And Brady, Lana, And I We Hung Out Around The Yurt and Played Cards and Just Spent time Together. On Sunday We Tried to Talk My Parents Into Staying One More Day. But They Wouldn't Even Listen to Us. So We Just Hung Out For A Long As We Could, Until My Parents Said It Was Time To Go.
Once We Left We Drove And Parked On The Side Of The Beach For The Night. When we Woke Up We Drove For A Few More Hours To A McDonalds To Get Wifi And Find Out Where We Were Going. Well We Ended Up Driving Around Santa Cruz For A Little While, And Going To Starbucks For Wifi (And Coffee, Of Course.) Then Lana And I Were Going to Buy Shoes, But I Didn't Have That Much Money, So We Just Bought Shoe Laces... For Future Shoes.(: We Went Back To The RV, And Started Driving To An RV Park Next To The Beach. It Was Super Pretty, The First Thing We Did When we Got There Was We Went For A Walk Around The Beach And We Saw Dolphins! (Well, We Think They Were Dolphins)
We Stayed At The Beach For A Night And Then The Next Day We Drove To A Costco And Stayed There, And Ate Some Costco Samples For Lunch!(: (They Had Mostly Popcorn Though...) After We Bought Our Little Table For The RV, We Went To The Beach In Sand City. The Beach Was Beautiful, even Though Every Time I Got In The Water I Got Yelled At, I Had Fun Finding Lots Of Sea Glass And Watching the Waves. We Also Saw Like 3 Shopping Carts... ? Once We Left The Beach we Headed to Orange Grove RV Park.When We Got Here We Looked Out The Window And Saw Tons Of Orange Trees. The RV Park Is Awesome, And The Oranges Are Good (Even Though Most Are Greens Not Oranges) There Is A Pool, Opens At 9 Closes At 9, I Love Swimming In It Cause Its Not Heated, And I Don't Like Heated Pools As Much, Except For In Winter.(: I Swim EVERYDAY, And My Hair Is Bleach Blonde, And Now Turning Green.

Saturday(10-8-11)
Today We Woke Woke Up From Our Long Night Of Driving Away From Reno  when we got to Walker Lake the sun was setting and was beautiful colors. When the Sunset Faded into Night the moon and stars were shinning beautifully in the sky and reflecting off the lake. I sat for at least an hour just looking up at the sky. (the night was quiet even though you could hear the wolves howling.) Walker Lake Is Awesome, everyday i wake up to the Bright Light shinning through the cracks of the window shades. Well That Plus the sound of the generator, my parents talking about oatmeal, Lana Whining, the kitten meowing, and the little cooper pushing me off the couch.So I lay in bed Sunday morning thinking about my bizarre juice dream and listening to my parents. While we were in Walker Lake I slept on the couch everyday so in the morning i was forced out of bed. Walker Lake Was beautiful but also there was not much to do. So we would entertain each other by trying to catch lizards! No One caught any.(except my cat) Something else we did was we made a fire and cooked Hot dogs on the fire. We Tried to watch a movie but the DVD player died!!):  We Went For many hikes around. During One hike we ran into a sign that talked about the un-exploded munitions on the south end of the lake!Whenever we hiked around walker lake we saw all kinds of animals like, lizards, rabbits, and even a coyote. We had AMAZING pictures of the chocolate mountains, the animals, the lake and everything else that we saw! Wednesday (10-12-11) We left Walker Lake And Are On Our Way To Cali! BYE BYE NEVADA! We Are Coming Back Soon To Go To Vegas.
