Now, where was I? Oh yes, here:
Mammoth, multi-level, outdoor-but-completely-shaded playground.
With slides, bridges . . .
mazes, tunnels, and more, there’s always something for the kids to explore. Plus, you’ve got that gorgeous ocean backdrop.
Then we had time for one last adventure up north with Mom and Dad.
Cheerful wildflowers greeted us as we began the trek to Hiji Falls.
The snake was this long, my father says. Yes, really.
While they were looking at the snake (if I remember correctly, it was dead), I was busy with this less chill-inducing creature.
There’s a certain elegance to these little things, don’t you think?
About halfway through the hike, you go over a bridge and look down, way down, on this.
We ran into a friend from my workout crew who took this group shot for us.
To give proper credit, Mom really does have a good eye for photography. This is one of her pictures. (I’ve stolen several from her for this series.) You can’t see the full height of the waterfall, but the lighting and composition make this shot so evocative, I swear I can hear the water thunder.
A little splashing on the way back down. And obviously another shot swiped from Mom’s camera.
All tuckered out by the end.
Almost done with Mom and Dad’s trip, then there was VBS (which pictures I’ve already posted), then Rachel’s visit. Once I get to Rach, I’m only a month behind—yikes!!!
