what would you wanna be?

beautiful cove on Rt. 1
Elephant Seals on the Beach!

So when we are not staying overnight at Walmart or hanging out in church parking lots, we look for places to stay that having electricity and wifi so we can recharge the p c's, d s's, itouch's, camera's, cell phones, all the important things we need to keep in touch with everyone at home. Of course these things also keep us from connecting with one another. And we have to watch The Office (well the parts that are clean anyways). So although I am the one catering to our "needs" by picking out the campsites I have started to announce that if we don't put the gadgets away we are not going to stay in such accomodating facilities. So now we are on the edge of Yosemite National Park. The drive up here is phenomenal and I drove it myself. Paul only yelped twice!! As soon as we got here the kids piled out and started a fire. We sat around the fire and had some great hang out time. We were disputing some really tough subjects like while did God make certain animals, take the platypus for instance, what purpose could they possibly serve other than for God to show creativity by coming up with bizarre animals that can lay eggs------- Things were starting to heat up when Allison took charge and announced that we were going to go around clockwise and say what animal we would be if we could and why

Paulson had to start: black leopard because they are powerful and strong.

then Paul: a blue whale because they are magnificent and everyone would be trying to get a look at me

Bev: a river otter because they are great swimmers and seem to have some much fun and good personalities .

Allison: a penguin what type? a Macaroni penguin because they like to swim and walk like this and I don't like to eat fish but then I would get to,

Audrey: An elephant because they are really smart and don't forget anything or a gorilla not the crazy one at the zoo that crashed into the glass but a teenaged one since I am. That would be fun

Emily: I would not be an animal because I don't like animals that much when pressed ----said she would be that large rodent a Capybara because when they come out of the water their hair looks "as nice" as when they went in!


The list of animals that we would not want to be a centipede or roach everyone would want to kill you, buffalo because of all the matted hair and flies, mosquito again for obvious reasons, a pig because of all the slop, a molting elephant seal (if you saw them on the beach like we did on Rt 1 you would understand this right away)

Maybe you had to be there but it was pretty funny. And then we went in the rv to watch The Office
