Great day 2......

By Amity -
Today we wanted to go on a hike.  Our friends Tamara and Ben mentioned a hike they had done several years ago so we researched it and decided to do the 8 mile portion (out and back) to a waterfall.  We got up early and hit the trail, it was raining and a tad chilly but really beautiful.  The terrain was a bit more aggressive and muddy than I had expected but it was a beautiful hike with amazing views and even some rainbows.  The waterfall was breathtaking, John swam out to it, it was very chilly water but he loved it.  After a snack we hiked back.  What we thought would take us 3-4 hours took us 6 but it was an amazing day!  We enjoyed a delicious dinner and more time by the fire pit...it's been an awesome two days!  We will be glad to see the kids tomorrow, we do miss them.

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
