Yosemite

So, this past Thursday Randy and I along with two other friends went to Yosemite. It was a spontaneous trip and so when we got there, we had the hardest time looking for a camp site. I never had a camping experience before, and so when we finally found a camp site, we set up our tents, made smores and went to bed. I woke up to a woodpecker pecking a tree and making the weirdest noises. I was paranoid throughout the whole night because last time I came to Yosemite, a stinkin' bear ate all my food. But, thankfully, there was no bear! :) Anyway, the next day, we had noodles for breakfast and packed up our stuff.... Keep in mind that we didn't find our camp site til like 1 or 2 in the morning, so we didn't pay anything. So, when we had the car packed, we saw a ranger walking around making sure that everyone was at their camp site and paid for. So, we all rushed into the car and Randy just took off! Just a bunch of rebels I know! haha! But yeah, we hiked to the top of Vernal Falls, which was so beautiful!!! It was a really hard hike, but I made it! I conquered that mountain!!! Hopefully next time when we go to Yosemite, we'll do half dome or whatever one is next on the list!!!

What was also cool about Yosemite, was looking at God's creation. Everything looked so majestic in Yosemite. Despite the pestering of squirrels and blue jays, just seeing the beauties that God has placed on this Earth for us to enjoy is just so breath taking. Walking into Yosemite was like walking into a different world. I live on an island, and the islands have their own beauty, and Yosemite definitely has its own beauty. I look forward to returning there and seeing more of God's wonderful creation!!!
