I woke up to the sound of my mom calling my name. ‘’Just five more minutes,’’ I said as I pulled the covers over my head. ‘’We’re going to Yosemite.’’ my mom said. My mom finally dragged me out of bed. I trudged into the bathroom and then brushed my teeth and got dressed. ‘’Well look who got up.’’ my grandma yelled. My sister ruffled my hair. ‘’Hey bro.’’ my sister said sitting down for breakfast. I went and joined her. “Do you want cereal or french toast?” asked my grandma. “I’ll have cereal please.” I said. We all ate breakfast and packed some backpacks with waters and got on the road by 8:30. My sister sang a song I didn’t recognize. “What song is that?” I asked. “Heart of gold” she replied. “Never heard of it” I said. We pulled up to the
“Hey Izel turn right right here so we can go to Mauna Kea,” I said
Located in the popular Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Falls is the tallest waterfall in California. Every year, mother nature’s breathtaking beauty attracts millions of people from around the world. People hike for three long and fatiguing hours in anticipation of witnessing forceful water rushing down the steep mountain from 2,425 feet above. Last summer, my family and I backpacked through the Yosemite Falls Trail and I came to learn what a truly exhausting experience it is.
“Momma!” I whined across the room, “I’m starving.” She always hates when I whine at her, I do it now just to grind her gears. She was lying on the couch so I laid my head on her lap and naming of foods that sounded good to me.
The granite in the Sierra Nevada Range and the glacier-carved landscape of Yosemite National Park allows the geologic history of the area to be broken into two distinct parts. First, the deposition and deformation of metamorphic rocks and emplacement of granitic rocks during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic, and secondly, the uplift, erosion, and glaciation during the Cenozoic that produced the modern landscape (United States of America). Significant chapters in this geologic history include the assembly of California, the intrusion of the Sierra Nevada Batholith, building of the Sierra Nevada, and erosion by glaciers (United States of America). The glaciation has led to iconic landmarks that are known around the world, such as Yosemite Falls, Yosemite Valley, and Half Dome (United States).
Arriving at Lacey’s house I walk to the backdoor letting myself into the house. Lacey was putting on tanning lotion in the kitchen, “Lacey,” I called to her, “my mom wants me to pick up snacks for the beach, do you want to go into town with me?”, “Sure,” she replied, “do you mind if my cousin comes with us?”, “Of course I don’t mind,“ I answered, “but we have to get moving, my dad only left me the car to use ‘til noon.”
Earlier that morning, we were at the Quinn motel, in Ironwood Michigan. We were staying at the motel because we lost our trailer due to the winter weather caving in our trailer. *** Explain why and how many years of hunting*** Stupid snow… I just woke up, thinking to myself I’m gonna get ‘em today! The Quinn motel was nice, not a very fancy motel, but it had everything you would need, the beds are nice, the bathrooms are fairly nice, they really don’t have a little kitchen but we stayed in the house that they rent out and that was actually pretty decent talk about what you stayed in not overall rooms. Our morning went like this, got up, brushed our teeth, my dad drank coffee like usual, then we went to Toni’s Place. Toni’s Place is about as good as the Quinn motel not fancy but, they have really good food. Toni’s place it can only fit like 60 people at a time it’s got a little bar in a curved line the bottom of its chrome it looks like the 70’s or 80’s in my opinion. It’s not very modern! Back to reality, so we are at Toni’s place, too detailed-not an important part of your story I’m eating an omelet right now, it’s so good! Bacon, Bacon, Bacon! When we got done eating we went to our stand. Shows don’t tell! The bears hit last night. The biggest paw print ...
I’m so happy you're here with us at Canyon Ranch. Whether you want to utterly unwind, ramp
Then she saw a greasy china plate that had bread crumbs, cheese and sausage. The pungent of cheese made her stomach grumble. The man was very rude and insulted her because she couldn’t read. Then Frances headed home and on her way, she bumped into a girl with a nice, green, winter coat. She imagined her Ma in that coat, twirling around with a smile on her face. The girl’s mother said a rather offensive sentence about Frances and walked away with her daughter.
“I’m not thankful for anything”, says Mark, “I’m mad I had to get up early, I don’t want all these people over, I hate thanksgiving!” Everyone just goes back to eating, Mark’s mother tries to talk to him. “Why are you being so moody? Why can’t you be joyful on the day of your family coming together? “Mom!”, says Mark, “why do all the uncles and cousins have to come over? Why can’t it just be me, you and grandma?” “Your grandma loves her children too honey say his mother, I’m sorry you’re in such an agitated mood.” Mark goes to his bedroom, he doesn’t even spend the rest of the day with the family, he just goes to his bedroom, slams his door and jumps in his bed. As Mark lay in his bed with his face smothered in his pillow, blankets over his head. He thinks about how aggravated he is. Maybe I just need a nap thinks Mark to himself, he closes his eyes and goes to
One day we went to Yosemite National Park to visit again for my birthday because I asked to go there again. It took a very long time to get there. When we got there we had to pay at the main entrance, the park ranger said, "$30 dollars please", in a Texas voice. The park ranger said,"Enjoy your way into beautiful Yosemite. But the day before we had to pack lunch, fruit, vegetables,and clothes just in case we got wet in the water. But then we began our journey to Yosemite again. We found a spot to get wet but the water was very very cold so we tried to find another spot and we did. The water was so warm like a brownie out of a oven that's how warm it was. So then I got in the water with my brother
The number of ghouls was overwhelming, but the sound they made was worse. Every one of us froze for a second, unable to move at the face of such a horror. Then suddenly, we broke and ran for the gate. It wasn’t as much a run as it was a rapid trudge.
...e in silence. But now he had this huge grin on his face. “that’s what you were crying about?” he finally said. “Oh, I knew you wouldn’t understand.” I crossed my arms and pouted. I sat there and watched his lips move as he said “No, I understand, I just thought that she should be the one that cries for over ten minutes. But hey, it’s your life.” I turned away and looked at the ground for a few moments. “hey, I’m hungry, do you want to go grab a bite to eat?” I had decided to drop the topic, and forget about it, but it didn’t seem that I would get away with it that easily. “Fine,” he replied “but we’re not done talking about this. In fact, I think we should talk about this over lunch.” “Awwww, your so annoying!” I shouted as I punched him in the arm. I stood up, and once again offered my hand, and this time he took it. I guess my life wasn’t such a big mess after all.
It was about eleven o’clock now. I generally go with a group of friends but not today, I could literally feel my eyes collapsing. In fact, I’m sure my eyes were heavier than the weights I did. As I finally got out of my bed and stepped on the icy floor, my legs felt as if gravity had increased by two fold. I get to the kitchen to discover a note telling me that my family has gone out and that I needed to call Jess, a family friend. Not thinking much of it, I decide to eat a bit of breakfast; this was the first bit of food I had eaten since six o’clock the night before. Once the cereal and milk had come into contact that delicious sound was created, snap, crackle and pop. Since I was young that sound has made my mouth water. I thought to myself, ahhhhh rice
...y brother and took the dog out. I jumped into the shower and did a fast wash. I ran to my bedroom to get dressed and took a quick look at the clock. I had plenty of time. I got dressed, and I even changed my shirt twice because I could. I went down for breakfast and the coffee was ready. But, I was alone. My heart started racing. In my hurry to get ready, I did not notice that my mom and brother were not up. “Oh no”, I thought. I dashed to my mom’s room and yelled, “Get Up, Get Up!, you need to hurry or I am going to be late for school.” My mom looked at me and said, “Why are you in such a big rush today, when normally I cannot get you to open your eyes at this time?” I yelled, “Hurry or I am going to be tardy and get suspended.” My mom just smiled and pulled the covers over her head. As she did that, I could just hear her say, “Trace it is Saturday.”
As usual I woke up to the sound of my father pounding on my bedroom door, hollering, “Get up! Get on your feet! You’re burning daylight!” I met my brother in the hallway, and we took our time making it down the stairs, still waking up from last night’s sleep. As we made our way to the kitchen, I thought about what to have for breakfast: fried eggs, pancakes, an omelet, or maybe just some cereal. I started to get hungry. As usual, mom and dad were waiting in the kitchen. Mom was ready to cook whatever we could all agree on, and dad was sitting at the table watching the news. The conversation went as usual, “Good morning.” “How are you today?”
