Mono Lake, CA

It was so hot, so interesting, and such a fun little day trip. We found out that this was only an hour and a half from us (right outside Yosemite) so we figured, why not? We saw this and a couple of other places that I have pictures of too. I'll post them later. I am in love with having a whole new little region to discover. So fun.





Rees Story time. So the water there is disgusting. It was a salt water lake which makes it nasty on its own but apparently it is way more salty that The Great Salt Lake and the ocean. The lake is chuck full of brine shrimp and alkline flies which equals sick nasty smell and looks. Rees is standing there throwing rocks into the water (of course) when he stops throwing and starts pointing at the water. While he is pointing he starts yelling "poop! Momma poop!" The kid then takes off and runs into the water that he is calling poop. Of course Benjy just stood there laughing and I had to go into the water and get him. He was in the water up to his hip and now we both were going to smell disgusting the rest of the day. Luckily I got over my anger somewhat quickly and we just spent alot of the drive with the car windows down. This experience made me realize that I need to teach Rees that is he is relating something to poo it is not a good thing. Whatever. Maybe he can just add things like to the list of "Dear Therapist, my mom screwed me up by..." .
