Nicki & Jaime's day at Yosemite
« on: July 28, 2005, 10:24:36 pm »
Last night Nicki got to my house around 12:30 a.m. to say a farwell to Bear and I before she leaves for Missouri. She won't admit that is where she is going but I know that is secretly the plan.  :( Anyways, we got up this morning, and in true Nicki/Jaime style, we took 3 hours to get to Yosemite which only takes 1 normally.  ;D

Here is what happened when we entered the park:
Go swimming- 1 hour which included Jaime falling into the water up to her thighs- not cute!
Drive to the village- 1 hour
Eat lunch-20 minutes to order the food and 40 minutes to get it...and it was wrong when I got it. Not to mention that I had some rude man tell me to remove my dogs since he was trying to "enjoy the park" and then I had to listen to some dumb baby scream for the entire time I was in line.  >:(
Buy flip flops- $21.50 for me due to broken skin on ankles and Nicki wanting to avoid hurt feet in the water but doing so took another 45 minutes
Walk to next swimming place- 30 minutes
Swim and play with dogs- 1 hour....and Nicki lost flip but not flop in the quicksand. We looked and looked in the mud for it but alas there was no flip to be found.   :-\
Walk to more around the park- 1 hour with Angus sinched up around my waist
Get to car- 20 minutes
Stop shortly after the car ride to swim again- 30 minutes and both Bear and Cody almost got taken away from the current.
Back in the car to the first pit stop- 30 minutes
Drive home- 45 minutes
Picked up $5 pizza for dinner- 5 minutes

All in all the day was fun filled and goofy as our trips together are. We had a blast, the boys all love each other sooo much, Angus is a pretty good boy when Mama Jaba takes over and even stopped trying to eat people for a while.  :) He even swam which is so terrific. My ankles are scratched fom my dumb shoes, Nicki has broken feet from walking around with only flop on for a while and then no shoes. We ALL stink badly and the boys are passed out! SO, here are some pics to commemorate the event!





Hugs,

How fun!!!  I love the pictures.  The first one cracks me up - they look so excited.  :)  Sounds like you had fun despite the set backs.

What a great time!  I wanna go next time!  Angus looks so huge in the water.  I love the pic with his head out the window!  And what is up with the paw in Cody's face? 
Bear is an absolutely proud tour guide, isn't he?

Those pictures are all so beautiful and really capture their spirit! Thanks for sharing them. I'm so jealous that I'm stuck here in hot, sticky, rainy, miserable Louisiana with not even a dog park close by!

Thanks Julie! I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately at the time I was so dumb founded at his comment that I could not even reply to him.  >:(

I am so jealous #1 because we are about to die with the heat and humidity here, then it storms for 2 days. #2 because we can not let Tonka off leash not even in water. Sounds like so much fun, Nicki, I agree you need to move close to Jaime and Michael so you guys can hang out more. I love all three of the boys they are so cute.

I HEREBY OFFICIAL DECLAIR WAR........ IT OUGHT NOT BE ALLOWED TO POST A POST LIKE THAT, THAT MAKES ME LAUGH LIKE A TOTAL MANIAC, THEN POST PICS THAT MAKES ME CRY BECAUSE I WASNT THERE TOO. WHY OHHHHHHH WHYYYYYYYYYYYY Y DID I NOT MARRY A MAN ON THE WEST COAST lol........

Kidding girls...... The pics are sooooo great, the dogs are looking excited and I love the ones where Wangus looks like he is trying to keep at least one foot out of the water hehe. And Bear having his head on that wood and sticking his little pinky out, too cute, AND one for the book is when skinny little Jabas sit next to big brother Bear, she looks sooo tiny and Bear looks like he could eat her in one swallow lol.....

I know you had a blast and had I not been sooooo jealous I would have said, hope you get to do it again hehe. Now I know Nickers is moving there, so I KNOW you all will make me jealous about once a month or so, THAT makes me think life is not quite fair lol
