The Hunt family and our family went together on a hike that boasted CAVES. We headed out through the jungle!
We came to a man picking these deep purple berries. He was collecting them for his restaurant. They"dry the pallet", and that they did. It was a VERY strange thing to eat, and I won't do it again. As soon as you touch them to your tongue, all your saliva dries up. It's very weird. But makes sense to use it before tasting something very juicy in a fancy restaurant.
We also found lots of strawberry guavas which are delicious to eat. We all ate as many as we could, and there were still tons left on the trees.
We found one tiny cave, but Lullaby was the only one to climb into it. The other caves were along a much muddier path, so we decided not to go that way.
At the top of one hill, with a clear view of a valley below us. It's so pretty here.
During the hike, we kept hearing this particular bird call. Such a pretty call, huh?
Several different times through out the hike, the trees would part and you could see the spectacular view. As usual, the camera doesn't do it justice.
Interesting plants and seeds and flowers all along the path.
There was even a minute to braid Hannah's hair. She has the most beautiful natural blonde highlights.
The kids found a perfect swinging vine and everyone had to try it out. They did it over and over and over until Ethan finally pulled it down. Then we wrapped it up and brought our new wreath home.
