Next Stop- Picture Rock National Seashore. Fewer waterfalls, more sand. This is Miner's Castle. It was pretty difficult explaining to the boys that it is not a real castle and miners dont live there.
Beautiful views all around! Maybe next time we can rent some kayaks and check out the rocks closer. I am thinking we will have to head back when they are 10. (not 8...everything else seems to be happening when they are 8)
THen more beach time and swimming. We gathered enough stones to write names
"My sensors indicate that there are waterfalls straight ahead!" Goto love cartoons. Peter's tool was very helpful to indicate a lot of things! We never got lost.
This was my attempt to do a timed photo...guess the flash did not go off.
Now the SAND DUNES! Lots of sand. Pat's worst nightmare. He hates sand.
Dont JUMP! I need someone to take care of me when i am old!
Since the boys were not allowed to collect rocks here...we had to take a piture of them.
Their muscles were getting bigger over the week. I am surprised that no one broke a toe!.
Thses dunes were about 400-500ft in height! They were awesome!
So there was this sign along a trail that said "DANGER DANGER 500ft drop. Only takes a minute to go down, over an hour to get back up" So what do you think idiots do.....go down. See those two little spots in the middle of the picture....let me zoom in for you........
yup, those two chose to go down....and I think are regretting it. I would maybe go down if I was 20 years younger or maybe not have my kids along. Just as we were heading back to the car, a nice family (2 kids maybe 10 and 8 and dad) chose to go down. The mom was the smart one and went back to the car to read her book. She was going to be there for a while.
More fun beach time. Rocks, sand water boys.....lots of fun!
Inspired but the Mount Horeb Trolls...when ever the boys find a tree stump they pretend they are trolls....here we have tongue out-peanut grabbing troll and swimmers take your mark troll.
Now that is what I call a successful day, two boys completely wiped out!
