camping

here are a list of some awesome things:
  • my dad telling me we're going to leave at 6:30am, but letting me sleep in until 7:30 (that never happens)
  • my mom giving me the $16 she found in my pants when doing my laundry
  • using that money to buy ice cream bars for everyone
  • figuring out how to assemble a 9x17 ft tent
  • sleeping in a 9x17 tent
  • on battery-powered aero beds that my dad bought because he thinks he's too old to be sleeping on rocks and sticks
  • camping in yosemite on a warm, orange-tinted october day, even though my toes fell off when it went below 30 degrees at night
  • wearing the same clothes for 40 hours
  • not wearing makeup
  • getting a site close to the bathrooms, even though my mom didn't see where I was pointing and instead, walked .25 miles up the hill to the next bathroom
  • throwing rocks at random things while gathering firewood
  • building a campfire without lighter fluid
  • watching my dad try to add a log that is literally bigger than me in our fire pit
  • eating spicy korean ramen for lunch, dinner, and breakfast
  • eating 4 s'mores (yes 4)
  • waking up, walking out of the tent, and seeing a BEAR in the next campsite
  • climbing rocks to a waterfall, even though I slipped and got my shoe wet
  • my mom having like 12,000 korean wetnaps
  • my bro not paying attention while driving down a steep and windy road because we finally got reception to KNBR 680 and were listening to the Giants game
  • the Giants going from a 1-2 score at the top of the 9th with one man on, 2 outs and a 2-2 count to scoring 2 more and wining the game
  • checking the Cal game score (35-7)
  • my bro saying he'll drive until we need to fill up again, which never happened. sucka!
cheers choi family!
