so auntie's 60th bday was saturday and we blew bubbles, looked for snakes, threw rocks off cliffs and ate. ATE SO MUCH. here are some navajo words i say very very often around my Diné family:

aoo' means yes, it's pronounced "oh" but quickly
shimasani means grandmother
na' means here, use it when handing something to someone
dooda means no, it's pronounced with loooong o's
gohwééh means coffee
yá'át'ééh means hello! and the word is its own sentence
łééchąą’í means dog and yea right it's almost impossible for me to teach you how to say it in written form because slash l isn't an english language sound and also, i don't say lééchaa’í often but it literally translates to poop eater
ahéhee' means thank you

so much more stuff ........ i'll write more later
and we found cool clearish rocks that are used to dye wool white on our hike. no one made fry bread this time but i did have the best shrimp kabobs everrrrrr. there were so many babies there and i forgot you have to watch them every second or else they will jump off a cliff or eat dirty dumpster jelly beans. crownpoint, new mexico: i'll see you again soon buddy.
