Red Hills Friendship


On Thursday, April 12th, my family and my best friend's family went on a trip to Red Hills. (I have written a previous post about this place!) And yes, we swam in the swimming hole! It was much more full this time because of the rain. But, of course, all the more better for five kids to swim in!
We swam for a long time in the swimming hole, and by the time that we were drying off in the luscious sunshine, the hole was as kicked up and muddy as a Wild West road!
We also spent a bit of our time relaxing near a the main stream, where we caught a giant water bug (that is also known as a toe-biter) with eggs on its back! Surprisingly, you might know,  the male carries the eggs on his back until they hatch, just as the male seahorse carries the eggs as well!
We had to let him go, though, and you might know that we had had another male toe-biter that died. (Possibly of stress).
Unfortunately, I cut myself twice on a rock, and my bestie fell in the water several times. At least it wasn't cold! It was warm from the sun. Although the "minor injuries", we had a splendid time!

LAKE CHABOT, WHERE THE MOUNTAIN LIONS ROAM!

On the 7th and 8th of April 2018, my family went on a vacation to a camping spot we all know and love. Anthony Chabot is a beautiful eucalyptus forest encased by gorgeous rolling green hills. We call the campground: Lake Chabot, because there is a amazing green lake that laps the land below the campground. Yet, the lake is diagnosed with a sort of lethal allergy that prohibits swimming. Too bad, you might be thinking. But, its not that bad. There is hikes that loop about the campground, and being close to Tilden Little Farm, we went there and hiked a majestic hike called Sylvan Trail, (we suffered much gobs of mud from the rain) that led us to an stony overlook that covered all of San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and more! Now, you might know what to do when you see a mountain lion sashaying across your path in he wilderness. You make yourself as loud and big as possible (even if it includes taking your shirt off) and throwing items at it until it runs away. This probably won...

Google Translate a Song In 5 Easy Steps!!!

Hi everybody! Today I'm back with a post about one of my latest favorite past-times: Translating popular theme songs, pop songs, and others through Google Translate several times. It may seem confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard. I will be revealing the simple steps to creating your new song . .   First you have to remember you are using Google Translate, one of the most unreliable Google apps. When you want to say " Hey, how are you?" in a different language, you might as well be saying: " Hey, goldfish socks?" Usually Google Translate translates correctly. But not always. I have experienced this myself with using Swedish. So to prove Google Translate wrong, several people have taken a popular song (I did Stressed Out, by Twenty Øne Piløts) and translated it through several different languages, then back into English. The results are hideous! Not only can somebody not recognize the song, the lyrics are completely crazy! Fo...
