Lor here. This will be a short recap. On Tuesday of Stupor Tour 2006 we decided to go hiking. First Jin and I got water at VONS. While waiting for Ysa to pick us up, we got a little bored. We saw a sign that warned that the shopping carts wouldn't work past a yellow line. We decided to test that. A pop! and drag later, we found out that was true!
Off the three of us went to Will Rogers State Park. Ysa has been quite the hostess with all the fun activities she has planned for us. The plan for today? Hiking! Ysa and Jin marched up the trail with barely a drop of perspiration, while I gasped and huffed and crawled behind them. Ysa mesmerized Larry the Lizard with her gaze, but as soon as she whipped the camera to her eyes the camera-shy lizard scampered off. We got some photos with Jesse the Traveling Gnome. I tell you, even Jin was starting to fade as we approached the final hill, but once the suggestion was put forth that Ysa carry a fishing pole with chips at the end, Jin and I perked right up.
We also cracked ourselves up with witty quotes that we can't remember now. I do remember Jin suggesting we sing songs to scare away the mountain lions. She said, "Wouldn't it be cool to sing 'Farmer In The Dell'?" Ysa quickly answered, "No." So we entertained ourselves by singing songs like "Gnome On the Range," "Take Me Gnome Tonight," and the song that goes "Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back gnome more, gnome more, gnome more, gnome more."
After that we snacked on CHIPS! and onion dip and Ysa's wraps, watched the classic "Surf II" (all the way to the end,) napped, showered, and settled in for a night of television.
Toodles!
