Just Kidding!

 

I've been feeling pretty blue this week, so I picked out a place I wanted to visit.(Not Hawaii ;) )

Our Destination was Ritter Island, which is a State Park around here. You can hike around, swim(if your a polar bear) and watch birds. :) The island was closed. So we just explored around the area.

 It was very misty in front of the waterfall. My phone camera was having trouble. Emma kept saying "Oh WOW! Oh WOW! Look!" She was about as far away as in the picture by the gate, when she began picking up rocks off the path and looking towards the waterfall and trying as hard as she could to throw them in. It was quite funny.

 We went on a crazy hike. There were blue dots (on rocks and trees) marking the trail. The kids ran up the whole mountain without complaint following those lovely blue dots. (I plan to put blue dots on everything, I want them to do from now on). I MADE them turn around eventually, because it was getting dark and we had come a long ways.

(This picture is about half way up. You can see our car in the parking lot in the top right of the picture.)

 The water is crystal clear here. It is very beautiful!

 Back in time for homework!(not really)
This is James' taking his spelling test. He chose the word(s) Red Rattlesnake for his bonus word this week. Jolly Bee! He got it right!
