Im the middle, but i feel like the oldest now cause our older brother moved to america, so it's not like he can help out xD

He does send mum a bit of money every month though to help while i get another job which is awesome.

But yeah, of this house, i'm the big sister and basically the one who has to do everything.
Gets a bit annoying always being the one everybody is relying on.

That's nice of your oldest brother to help send money every month. :] Every little bit helps.

Awww... I wish I was closer, I'd come help you out! [hug]

No cloud i wish i was closer to help YOU out. But i am needed here D=

One day i will be able to visit! Once you are done with college so we can go to yosemite! xD

Darn distance!!

But yes, that so needs to happen.
And we can stay in a tent cabin (which has beds) in Camp Curry, in Yosemite Valley. :D

here!

DOUBLE AND TRIPLE YES CLOUD!

I love it there so much. I haven't been but i've read and looked a thousand pictures of the place so i know how awesome it is xD

That and my dad and step mum travelled the world and when i asked where was their favourite place they said Yosemite!

It is beautiful too!! And from the entrance of Camp Curry, you can look up and there's half dome!! My dad has pretty much climbed every thing there is to climb down in the valley. :D

Hah thats cool. If i was fitter i'd say i'd do that too, but i know what i'm like i'd get tired really quick and give up xDD

Maybe just a smaller hill to start heh

Haha, eh - I'm horrible with that kind of thing as I'm terriied of heights. You can walk to the top of Nevada and Vernal Falls - which is a pretty crazy hike, but... the views are amazing!

Here is info on that. I've done it once. [yes]

Oh yosimite! I've been there!!

Gosh Nevada falls would take me double that time with resting haha xD

The other two look do-able though!

I keep saying i'm going to get fit so i can do some climbing and walking trails but i still haven't done it D=

And haha! Sammy just made me do an out loud d'awwww.

I was munching my pretzels and i didnt realise for a minute but he was sat in the begging position staring at me waiting for one xDDD

I had to give him one for the determination! xD

CLoud is there a place nearby where you can do some sort of horse-rent thing? Like when you follow a trail with other horse riders so you can borrow one if you don't have your own?

I did it once here but i dunno how that works in the US.

I've never done good with hiking. I'm not too unfit...but I end up complaining the entire hike.

Kat: I live like 3 1/2 hours from Yosemite. WE don't go as often as i'd like... if I wasn't so lazy I'd share a pic I have of Half Dome in the snow... although bad memories attached to that trip. We got in a car accident and had to drive non stop, back home in a tow truck... :/ That wasn't very fun.

Lavi: Oh same here. My asthma acts up at elevation, but it's an amazing view! I think that's what it took me last time like 5 hours or 5 1/2 hours from the bottom to the top. Plenty of nice resting places in the shade though. :]
There is plenty of flat trails in the valley that don't require hikes like that. [yes]
It makes me wish that I was into photography more when I went on that hike years ago - we went in 6th grade - but I wasn't as into photography then so no actual good pics. :( Darn!

Hahahahaha!! That little puppy face!

December 30th, 2012 - Half Dome with snow
https://scontent-2.2914.fna.fbcdn.ne...88&oe=550DC0EE

*drools*

Wow it looks amazing.

I need to go to the peak district in the next county, i bet that takes some good winter pics!

I just realized that I had a voice mail from a friend who called right after we got in that car accident the last time were were in Yosemite. I just listened to it... it makes me miss him. He's getting ready to be stationed over in Japan... Which means I won't be able to text him anymore. T_T

Yeah, it was - the only actual clear day we had and omg, it was so cold.

That's a great photo! I went there in the summer, but it looks great with snow.

Ah winter...I never get to see stuff like that.

I have pics of it in the summer too! :D I just was too lazy to go and find those as well. xD
But omg, it was so cold - I was wrapped up in so many layers. [yes]
And I was still shivering.

Lavi, I can tag you to the albums with the yosemite pics on FB if you'd like! :)

It's nice you remember to take a lot of pictures.

*laughs* Oh, I'm the photoholic of the family... the issue is taking too many and then not having the time to sort through them all. xDD Just ask Lavi, I have hundreds of albums of photos on Facebook. xP

Here's some awesome photography i just found of the park i'm talking about.

It's called the peak district national park, the most popular part called the yorkshire moors, but don't let it mislead you, the highest peak is actually not that high, most of the trails are just lovely, but of course there are peaks, and caves and a few smaller waterfalls :)

Sorry i was spending ages trying to find photo's i really liked xD

Yes you can tag me if you like Cloud!

I was supposed to go to bed an hour ago, why is it so hard for me to go to bed these days? xDD

*squeaks in happiness* (YES, I did actually start squeaking.) OMG GORGEOUS!!! [love]

Those are stunning photos. I'd love tho see the place in person.

Cloud will you be able to email him over there? Your friend that is.

No worries Lavi! Ok, I'll tag you into the albums on FB instead of individual pictures - one of the albums isn't just Yosemite Valley, but some of Tuolumne meadows (which is also in the park) and surrounding areas, and then some of Yosemite in winter in another album.

You should go and try to sleep!!

I probably could (I need to ask him what the best way to contact him is), or if he knows what his address is and I'll just hand write him letters. Or possibly FB I just don't know how much access he'll have to the internet.

Yeah those photo's are awesome, i wish i could do that!

And this is the classic Yorkshire, my county; mostly low lying flat farmland, but a rare occasion it ends up covered in snow, i think that picture is taken from the top of a small castle we have nearby :)

So many fields! Pretty!!
And I tagged you to the albums that the pics are on over on FB. :]

I would share a pic of my hometown area, but it's hard to find a picture that fully describes where I'm from, as it's down in a valley, and it's got a winding river... it's just pretty! I miss it!
