Twice as nice!

A little while ago I saw a video someone had posted about hiking up the Half Dome at Yosemite National Park. I have never been to Yosemite, and I don't think I had ever heard about the Half Dome hike! Talk about becoming obsessed! I told Buddy that hike has now become #1 on my bucket list and we needed to train for it ASAP. I started my training by running up a Pu'u nearby several times a week....


Buddy is training by watching videos that are in no way hiking related.....not sure if that's a reliable training method, but to each their own. In other news, Shane took us to a new beach that was really spectacular. He took us around sunset and promised to take us again the next weekend so we could really adventure around the area....





Then he woke up sick the next day and tested positive for Covid! We quarantined him off for a good week and threw food at him at regular intervals so we wouldn't catch it to because Buddy and I had great plans. I think Shane was getting a little bored and missing his sick companion because he kept asking if Buddy was sick EVERY SINGLE DAY! Thankfully, Buddy and I escaped un-virused because we had important things to do! Like take pictures of my dad napping in chairs!

Going to really odd antique stores!

Buying some authentic WWII swords that instead of immediately reselling for a fortune, someone is hanging them on his wall so they will have more time to increase in value (at least that's his excuse for these overpriced gems).

Renting a caboose car so the whole family could travel in style...







Trying to con Donna's lambs to get close enough so that I could put a leash on them and take them for a walk....this never came to fruition, but my dad ran around the pen like a crazy man for at least an hour trying! 

and visiting Shane's dad!


We are home again waiting for some important guests to arrive next week.....so all in all a super fantastic, quick tripped out, day!
