Finally got the chance develop some film that’s been sitting around for awhile now. Surprise! I didn’t even know what it was until I picked it up…but it looks like I brought my fisheye camera when we went up to Yosemite. Here are some of them:
I totally missed out on the OC fair and all the fried goodness that came with it, so when the LA fair rolled around, I knew I had to go. Apparently the new thing this year is fried Kool Aid, but we weren’t adventurous (or hungry) enough to give it a try.
Turkey leg + corn = bomb.com
YA, Bacon and Nutella on a 10lb bun. Believe it.
Future prospects. Give ‘em about 10 years. HEHE just kidding.
I think we’ve hit the motherload right here.
So we decided to go with the deep fried Klondike bar and…a deep fried chicken patty sandwiched between two jelly filled Krispy Kreme donuts. #FATTYNATION Surprisingly, both were delicious.
Not gonna lie, this was pretty high up:
Of course, the boys had to compete in the basketball game…and it only took ONE TRY…HOLLER!!! $$ in the bank right here.
Yee, the girls came away with monkeys. I decided to name my B-Dubs, because he’s gangster like that.
This ride is crazy. But it was also playing Gareth Emery’s Mansion. It was a sign, but I didn’t have the guts to ride it. 
Sorry Gareth!! (Can someone also explain to me the first 2 minutes of the music video?)
NAOOOO. If you know me, I’m a big scaredy cat. I hateeee roller coasters, but somehow got suckered and tricked into riding one.
Yes. Pickles. They’re awesome.
These two lovebirds are Disney fanatics, so what better place than to have your engagement session than the happiest place on earth!? We spent a fun filled day at the park and was able to sweet talk a couple of the employees to give us our own boat for some photos. Everyone working there is so cheerful and were more than happy to oblige in the name of love.
We even got Mickey to be their pastor! 
These two enjoyed an ice cream cone together at the end of the day on Main Street:
Big Thunder Railroad was probably my favorite ride to shoot. Arms and lenses flying everywhere, boy was this a challenge. I bet Em and my camera collided atleast 5 times during this ride trying to turn behind and shoot the happy couple.
Just returned from the happiest place on earth and couldn’t wait to share, so here’s a sneak peek!
Woke up bright and early on Saturday morning so we could make our way over to the Merced River. 21 of us signed up for the full day trip with Zephyr White Water Expeditions. Lucky for us, this trip is only allowed 6-8 days out of the year due to weather and water conditions. We really hit the gold mine on this one!! We all arrived, ready to take on 14 miles of this awesome river. Our group was so large that the gave us our own bus:
I have never been white water rafting before, and was super excited to get some of this class 3/4 action!! We did 3 boats of 5 and a boat of 6. We got trained for about half an hour and we were off with our guides! Team Beaver had a newlywed couple as our guides for the day. They were super in love and even showed us where they had gotten married along the river. The next couple of photos were purchased from their photographer:
Leanin’!
We stopped mid day for some hand made gourmet sandwiches prepared by our guides. We got an hour to rest and play in the water and get re-energized for the rest of the trip down the river. This is our awesome boat doin’ a paddle high five right here:
Hanging out in the water after lunch…
I purchased a GoPRO camera just for this white water rafting trip and didn’t really learn how to use this camera before hand. I thought I had charged it fully but actually only had a couple of minutes left of battery. SO SAD…I was able to capture our first class 3 rapid but didn’t have enough juice to film any of the class 4s.

It’s alright, there’s always next year when we take on the Tuolumne River in May which has 20 miles of class 4 rapids. This is our raft and our main guide Joe:
Our campsite didn’t have showers so by Saturday, we hadn’t showered for 3 days. After rafting, we snuck into the camp right next to Zephyr and all took quick group showers in our swimsuits. AWWW YEAHHH, SHOWERS YEAH. Showers are awesome…and we definitely take them for granted.
Headed back to camp hoping the people that stayed behind would already have dinner ready for us…except we came home to an empty camp Got the grill started and cooked our best dinner of the trip. We had marinated flank steak, bulgolgi, fajitas, and pasta salad. 
Our last night, we decided to have a little fun. We ended up moving from campsite to campsite to campsite. Had some more smores and snacks along the way.
Last camp meal = left over cheese fajita with flank steak/bulgolgi/Doritos. BOMB.
Packed up all of our stuff and headed to see the large sequoias in Yosemite Park.
This is Buddha being all fancy with the camera right here…
Dear Jono, I like your pinecone. Est-ce que vous voulez des bonbons?
We people watched for a little bit. Some interesting people that I don’t see on a day to day basis. Heh heh.
We thought we’d be out of the park by 3pm to drive home. Instead we left at around 6. This is us stretching against James’ truck.
We drove around town trying to find a good spot to eat. Ended up loitering in the parking lot for a bit before we decided on a Japanese restaurant. This picture almost looks like some sort of Asian band picture. LOL.
Ordered so much food…
Ended up getting on the road at about 7:30pm. I was finally in bed at around 1:45am. Man, what a GREAT trip with even more AWESOME company. Can’t wait to do it again soon!
Boo to the 2 groups that left early morning!! The last 3 sites that were left for the group photo at the end…
