Did you kiss that snake?
Give the snake a kissie.
Awww.

Good morning, everyone.
Let me start this vlog off by telling you how freaky it was last night.
Josh and I got in our tent pretty late, I guess it was around like 10:30 or 11:00.
The fire was pretty big when we decided to go to sleep, so we were sitting in the tent
awake just waiting on the fire to die down a bit.
And before we came camping, I read that this place, Shasta Lake, is black bear country.
So you need to store your food away from your tent.
So we did that.
We couldn't find a tree to hang it in, so we just kinda set it onthe ground but away
from our tent.
I didn't think there would be any bears on an island.
I'm like, well we're on an island.
Surely there's not any bears here.
But we didn't know so we stored our food and stuff away from us just to be safe.
So we're sitting in our tent last night and we're watching the fire and it's quiet because
everyone's asleep and we're on a little island and we start hearing, like, the bags rustling.
And I asked Josh, "Did you hear that?" and he's like, "Yea, it's just a squirrel."
And I'm like, "Okay."
And I don't know, it kept going on and on, the rustling.
And we kept hearing like leaves crackling and stuff and he kept telling me it was a
squirrel.
And I think that he was telling me it was a squirrel just to convince himself it was
a squirrel.
Caue it was pretty freaky.
Well the leaves crackling and stuff started getting closer to our tent and I was freaking
out thinking there's a bear.
And I was thinking, like, "Ok, what are the statistics that a bear will tear down a tent
to get to the person inside?"
Anyways, I was freaking out.
Then it got even scarier because I saw a shadow outside.
Like right over here, a shadow walked by and it was big.
And I was like, Oh my God.
Like I started thinking of the show Supernatural, like all the people who are camping and they
see the shadows outside their tent right before they're attacked by some sort of a monster.
And then Josh had the window of the tent open right here because he was watching the fire
and he saw something like over by the picnic table and he kinda whispered he saw something,
but like my mind, I was like surely he didn't.
So I kinda waited a minute but he looked super tense and so I was like, "Did you say you
see something?"
And he's like "Yea." (laughing) Oh my gosh.
And so we sat here like still, just peeking out of the window and we realized it was a
deer!
There was a whole heard of deer outside of our campground, like everywhere.
There was even a big buck.
There was several does.
They were everywhere.
They were just walking around, scouting out the area.
So, much rather have a heard of deer outside of our tents than a bear.
But they did get into our food and they ate our pretzels and they ate our fruit.
Which is sad because we had apples and bananas and that's what I was planning on eating today.
So that's gone, but they didn't eat everything.
I stored some of the stuff in a zipper tent case, so they didn't get to that.
So we still have plenty of food.
So today is a cold and cold, rainy day.
I'm cuddling with this girl.
There's not much to do because we're stuck on this island.
It's suppose to be cold and rainy all day.
We are at Lake Shasta, by the way, in Northern California.
If you did not see our previous vlog.
It's really beautiful here.
And now we're camping in the rain so yay.
(rain and faint music)
So we actually
have a fire going in the rain, thanks to Josh.
And this is our view this morning.
It looks very Pacific Northwesty right now, but I don't know, is this considered the Pacific
Northwest?
I guess that's debatable.
Some people do consider Northern California the Pacific Northwest because it's so similar
to Southern Oregon.
Yea, sorry I didn't know if that was the right word.
But some people do not, so it's like a big debate.
Do you consider Northern California to be the Pacific Northwest?
I kinda do.
If someone told you they were going to Northern California when we were in Tennessee, would
you think it was the Pacific Northwest?
No.
Like, cause the redwoods and stuff.
First thought, no.
The children are in the tent over there hiding out the rain.
And this is our other tent setup that we've got.
Everyone's finally making their way out of the tents.
So me and the kids have decided that we're gonna walk around the island and explore a
little bit while the rain's let up and hopefully it doesn't start pouring rain on us while
we're walking.
But we're gonna try to find the deer that found us last night.
They have to be on this island somewhere.
This is the island that we are exploring.
There's like camping sites everywhere.
All over this island, it's so cool.
There's another bathroom up there, so it's like there's little bathrooms all over the
island too.
It's such a cool place.
There's the lake down there.
It feels like we're on an island in the ocean.
Check out this tree.
It feels cool.
There's no bark on it, huh.
At all.
It looks like a carved, fake..
(Merrick: She just shaved.)
Raya wants to feel it.
(Merrick: She shaved.)
And the trail continues.
It's so cool.
It doesn't look like there's any camping spots over here, it's just like trails that connect.
They just go around the whole island.
Raya, look.
It's a tree just your size.
(laughing) I love this tree.
This is all there is to it.
It looks like a branch just growing out of the ground.
Say bye bye, tree.
Bye. (laughing)
I feel like we should name that tree, what's it's name, Merrick?
Douglas.
Douglas.
Man, this is so pretty.
Look.
Doesn't it feel like this is the ocean?
This lake is so big and you can't see out, like any land because of the clouds so it
just looks like the ocean horizon.
The trail splits off right there.
We can go this way, or we can go this way.
And we're going this way.
Merrick and I just made it to the top.
Blaine had to stop a little ways back because he said his stomach was hurting and we swear
we just heard like a tree fall or something.
Our feet are soaking wet.
Our socks are mushy.
And this island is way bigger than I thought it was.
Is it bigger than you thought it was, Merrick?
Raya is getting too heavy to carry in my arms.
My arms were killing me.
She's getting so big and I don't have my carrying backpack.
So she's getting a shoulder ride.
This is so much more convenient, but even on my shoulders she's getting heavy.
Such a big girl.
She's almost 2.
She'll be 2 in a couple months, it's crazy.
Look at that.
That looks so cool with the water and the tree and the trail.
I love this place.
And then there's water over there too.
And a boat.
We were just passing through this way and we came across Douglas again and realized
this is his parents!
And his sister.
Oh, his sister!
A whole family of Douglases.
I think this is my favorite island.
I just love the scenery here.
We made it back to the campsite.
Everyone was just feeling really tired.
I don't know if it's the rain or because we had a busy day yesterday, but no one really
feels like hiking and Raya, she didn't even want to walk at all.
I had to carry her the whole time which is unusual cause Raya always wants to walk.
But now she's playing with some sticks.
She has a stick that looks like a duck.
Did you make this, Josh?
Or did you just find it coincidentally?
Well no, I was working on Blaine's fire stick and that was part of the bark that I was prying
off of it.
There was a small little twig coming out of that and that's what made the eye.
Ooooh.
And I found this one, which is snake shaped.
So it's the snake stick.
Ssssss.
Woah.
And Raya's playing with them.
(duck sounds)
Raya loves ducks, that's her favorite animal.
Ssssss.
(kissing noises) Ah! It's a kissing snake.
(laughing) Did you kiss that snake?
Give the snake a kissie.
Awwww.
Woah, check out the mist coming off of the lake.
Kinda difficult to see it.
I'm not sure if the camera's even catching it.
And then the mountains are really pretty also because of the fog.
(light music)
I'm down here at the lake shore by myself right now just walking around and
exploring.
I just can't get over how pretty this place is.
I honestly just thought it would be like every other lake I've ever been to, but there's
something about this lake that's just so amazing.
This lake is actually a national forest.
And here's the sign for the island that we're on right now.
They have these signs located all along the shoreline.
There's a campground right over there and there's actually a road connecting it to the
marina.
So if something happened, we could just kayak right across there to the campsite and then
walk to the marina where our car is, which would be a lot quicker and a lot easier than
kayaking all the way back.
So we're actually not that far from being able to get to our car without having to kayak
all the way back.
(whispering) Raya fell asleep in a little nest, here.
It's so cute.
Well, it is still raining.
It's been going all day.
I just keep hoping the rain'll let up and it doesn't.
I ended up taking a nap with Raya and now we're eating beans.
We've got tortillas and we're just eating plain beans.
Anyways, the cold is starting to seep into my bones and it's starting to get miserable.
We're all just ready for it to be tomorrow already.
So yea, I am gonna go ahead and end this video.
So, tomorrow hurry up and get here.
