Friday, August 19

wow, its already friday

lets see... i will begin with what went on yesterday, then i will get to today. i will keep it short though and just mainly put pictures up. just a few stories first, though.

so yesterday was a lot of fun. the day was spent at gull lake. this lake is probably my favorite lake to go to. its close by, not too big, and, best of all, they always have a kayak to rent. so jenny and i rented a kayak for a few hours and had a ton of fun just kayaking around. let me tell you, we are becoming pros at kayaking. however, we tried something new a few times yesterday. this kayak also has pedals that you can use and a rudder to steer with if you want to. so jenny, sitting in the back, put the rudder down in the water and we pedaled a bit while she steered. pedaling a kayak is a great workout. my legs and bottom were burning with such a workout. jenny made fun of me cause i was going crazy. anyway, so we decided to go back to paddling. i was paddling on my own a bit, but i found that i was working extra hard to go straight. after about 5-10 minutes of paddling on my own, i hear jenny say from behind... "oh, i forgot to put the rudder up." it was hilarious.. the rudder was turned to make us go right. i couldn't stop laughing... it was great.

all this time, my family was in a little motorboat fishing. my mum caught her first fish. she was very happy. however, they had the boat till 7 pm. we were out of the kayak at 3:20. we had no money, no keys to get in the car to get money... no food, nothing. so we waited almost 2 hours doing nothing till they realized we were stranded. so they came back and gave us money to get food. we walked into town, then came back and decided to rent something new...

a canoe! we were on the canoe for an hour... that was fun... a lot different than kayaking. so we got off the canoe at around 6. another hour with nothing to do. so we were going to ask the guy if we could rent the kayak for a half hour. now, earlier in the day, we had kinda made friends with this guy. so he told us, go ahead and just take it out... no charge". we were so stoked... so stoked, that when we got on the kayak, we went crazy and pedalled and nearly tipped the kayak. funny stuff. so we were pooped by the end of the day.

today we went to bishop. we went bowling for a bit and didnt do much more. so today was relaxing... plus i got to drive back to mammoth... i love that drive, and i love cruise control.

well, thats bout it, so i will post pics... ta ta
