“If we keep no diary [journal], the path crumbles away behind us as our feet leave it; and days gone by are but little more than a blank, broken by a few distorted shadows. Life is all confined within the limits of to-day….”
Today we went to Mambukal, another mountain resort. We all had a great time.
The kids all dug around in the dirt, exploring........
And look what Grandma Carol found !
A BIG LONG BUG of some sort. I actually think it was some kind of huge centipede. It had hundreds of legs.
At first Payson was kind of leery.......and wouldn't touch it except for a stick.
May I interupt this blog post for Brightyn to say "HI" She's a sweetie.
Finally he got brave...........and his love for this bug was so cute.
Brightyn didn't want to touch it - just smile at it :)
After awhile we walked down a trail next to a little creek where the kids got in and played.
Payson brought along his friend (in an empty Kentucky Fried Chicken gravy container)
Everyone except the picture taker :)
"I will love him,and keep him, and I will squeeze him, and hold him......"
Later that evening back at the Rich Ranch, we commandeered a Tricy-cad, and took the kids for a spin up and down the road. We had to be careful, because there were no brakes !!
This morning while walking, I held up my camera over the cement barrier wall............. a family lives here.........such contrasts between the classes of people. It is hard for me to see and know about. We just don't see this in our coccoon that is Morgan, Utah.
Beautiful Day on the horizon
Edna's placing of the toys while cleaning..........I could write an entire post about this sometime, but I can't talk about it without getting emotional.......
This grandma did the bathing and hair fixin' today...... I've still got it ! haha
We ventured down to the community pool to take a dip.
Fun times
Payson loves it !
So does this girlie :)
Later in the evening we went down to the wharf/dock to check out the setting sun.
The Grindbox ! I finally get to see it and experience Crossfit in the Philippines
Santee, Me, Kacey, Landon - Can you tell I've had a workout??
Oohhh -- Scary messy face girlie
We drove an hour into the mountains to a zip line ! These local kids were watching through the fence to see the action. We say Hi, but they are pretty timid around out of town strangers.
While we were waiting, Payson and I found a mama piggy with her babies - so cute !
Payson checking out the babies pigs trying to get some shade.
Now it was finally time. I think you could safely say that Carol was more freaked out than me (haha)
One.............
Two..............
Three !!!! Go !!!!
When Kacey and LANDON landed (see video below), I actually thought it was Kacey and Jordyn....
Cute little baby we saw.......
Riding in the back of a scary truck to take us back to the beginning of the zip line adventure.
On the way home - all tired out......
Home at last
so tired..........
Cutest video you'll ever see - what a great Daddy !
Today we made a mini calendar to help mark the time until we go on the plane "P", and then see GRANDPAS !!! "G". I think it helped a little bit. All we heard all week from Payson was, "I want to go see my Grandpas in UTAH !!!!!!"
