4th of July Weekend

Hokay. So 4th of July weekend. I had watch that night into the morning hours, so i was running off of like 3 hours of sleep for the camping adventure, but luckily got some starbucks before we headed out to the lake. We had a cooler, tent, sleeping bags, food that could last us like 2 weeks. Seriously we ate pretty well that weekend. But we were en route by nooner to the campsite. It was on a natural forest reservation area. We get there and check in super quick since im awesome at reserving things. The lady asked us if we wanted a lake view or a site by the bathrooms. pshhh lake view. So we got to our site, and it was overlooking the lake, and absolutely just wonderful. Came with a firepit, picnic table, place to put our tent, and a water fountain. What more could you possibly ask for?!?! and the bathrooms were a minute walk up a hill. Things were looking good. So we set up camp there, and went to the store like 15 minutes away to get some firewood, ice and beer. came back, set up the tent, and went swimming!! It was so peaceful, and the water was wicked warm. Too warm for some people in fact. Talk about crazy. youre crazy. So we hung out by the water for a little bit, then eventually went back to make some kebabs with like steak peppers onions mushrooms, man this was like really good. all over the fire too. tastyyyy. Then we just hung aroound the fire the rest of the night, and made some smores. Smore of what? When it was time to go to bed it was 100 degrees out. and the tent made it feel like 150 degrees (Fahrenheit lol) So it was rough trying to get to sleep. Eventually, brace yourself, I grabbed a clean sock from my bag, filled it with ice and just put it on my forehead. ended up falling to sleep real quick after that. Good day. Next day was early to rise, specially with the sun coming in, not like we had walls or AC lol. got up and made some breakfast. Another fantastic meal. Soooo good. Then down to the beach!! Went down to the beach and put my towel down to get muh tan on. It was kind of a secluded spot, so it was nice, not many people. So i ended up passing out on my towel, drooling and alls. And i wake up to some voice saying "should we go to the left or to the right of him?" that him being me. And it was just a couple of asian-americans coming to enjoy, the same beach, as us. My tube was right beside me by the way. I lay back down, and 2 seconds later, there were 45 kids running around me screaming, yelling splashing around, heck they had squirt guns. and me still laying down was getting drenched by the second. I jump up grab my stuff, cept my tube cuz that was already being used, and i moved to a more rocky area of the beach. i sat up and counted every single one of them. had to get this number, cuz it was unbelievable. so then i was a lil angry so Anderson and I went back to the campsite, and decided to get out of nature for a little bit. lol. its tough roughin it in this heat. We ended up taking the car to starbucks in fresno, a good 30 minutes a way. charged my phone a little bit and grabbed a coffee. Threw that coffee out, and went up and got another one.... little did i know that if you stayed in starbucks, they gave you free refills for 50 cents just for like ice coffee. my mind was totally blown. i was super excited. loved every second of it. We returned back to the campsite later and all those people were still there, so we moved to a new beach and just read some books and hung out. Had some dinner that night and got some good rest, saw a couple shooting stars too. a lot cooler this night than the previous. Woke up the next morning, said we had enough, and even though we had one more night, we needed to get outta there. So we packed up our stuff and got the heck outta there. Good weekend.

Side notes: I started growing a mustache at this point, which was phenomenal, cuz i could grow a good one after a long weekend. Mother gave us sparklers too, which were fun, but kinda got old after the 6th one lol sorry Mom!!
