Alex turns nine tomorrow. Since it falls on a Sunday, we went out and celebrated today. We asked her what she wanted to do. We threw out a few suggestions, she ended up picking hiking to the Coronado Cave and a picnic.
A guy was out for a nice leisurely bike ride on a Saturday morning and asked if we would like him to take our picture. He may have just needed a rest but it was nice of him. Thanks to him we got a family picture!
Mom didn't have a breakdown this time but I was slow. The girls got plenty of rest waiting for me. Clay stayed behind with me, I think he was afraid I might have a heart attack and fall over the edge!
Dad set the timer on the camera and we got some pretty good pictures of the family at the entrance of the cave.
The girls climbed way up high to be next to the rocks that look like a dragon. In the past we've gone in the rainy season so all the rocks are slippery and wet. This time the girls were able to crawl around and explore without slipping too much.
The formations in the Cave are really neat. Some have been destroyed by people who are disrespectful, there was also a lot more graffiti then we've ever seen. It was still a lot of fun!
In the rainy season everything inside looks so different. Sydney was covered in dust and dirt instead of mud and water. The formations look completely different when their dry and dusty.
Mom is all smiles now, we get to head downhill!
We even fed the blue jays some chips. They were happy birds. After lunch we let the girls go explore for a while, then headed home to watch movies! What a fun day, good pick for an outing Alex. We love you and hope you had a happy birthday!!
