Stopping at the Sequoia National Forest Visitor's Center, we were given a lesson on the many animals that inhabit the park. Matthew correctly identified the bear skull, but couldn't figure out the other one with long teeth. The ranger said, "I'll give you a hint: It may use a litter box in your house." Matthew replies, "Yeah, I just don't get that at all." I answered, "Mountain Lion." The ranger confirmed that this was the correct animal. Matthew turns and looks at me with a very angry expression and says, "Wait a minute. You didn't tell me there were mountain lions here! Now I have to worry about bears AND mountain lions!"
Julia and Amanda were forced to share a bed in San Francisco. At one point in the middle of the night, Amanda gets mad and says, "Julia, will you quit moving around." We learned that Julia, even half-asleep, can be quit sarcastic when she responded with, "Sure Amanda, becauase I'm the only person who has ever moved around in their sleep ever!"
Upon leaving Sequoia National Forest, Matthew uttered the following declaration: "Never ever take me to another place where all we do is look at trees!"
While touring Crystal Cave, the tour guide asked if we had any questions. She did this a lot, and Matthew frequently had questions (mostly about bats). But, at one point towards the end Matthew came up with the following: "Yeah, I have a question. Are we done in here because I'm bored. Can we go to another cave?"
After getting his new "spacer" in his mouth, Matthew declared, "I hate my voice now. It sounds stupid."
