Last Sunday we enjoyed a lovely hike through Sanborn National Park. They have an unbelievable trail system. It is beautiful and quaint inside the Redwood forest.
We had several highlights. One was seeing a live banana slug. You can see Daddy's sense of humor and wanted the kids to see why it was called a banana slug. They are huge and slimy!
Seeing all of the huge old trees that you can go into were also amazing.
Axel had the privilege of going on a field trip here in Kindergarten or first grade. I can't remember, but I do remember hearing about the ghost rock. Axel couldn't wait to show us all that he had seen and the ghost rock was at the top of his list. As you can see it does look like a ghost. The family did so well that we hope to go on regular hikes throughout the year.
Even Rubix did well considering he was running a fever still and not feeling well.
We ended the hike with a silly picture and then some snacks and play time on the big rocks near the parking lot. We plan on taking little Grammy and Auntie Josie here when they come visit the first week in July.
Rubix has been sick for such a long time. After a week of sleepless nights and vomiting and lack of eating and drinking we finally went back to the doctor to learn that he has a double ear infection. Because it is his second ear infection in less than one month's time it is considered a resistant strain so he was given stronger antibiotics. We hope that this will fully rid him of this illness and we can finally be healthy again. It has been such a hard month for the family with having to hold Rubix most of the night, but considering how much pain he has been in we understand his need for Mommy and Daddy help.
We are hoping the rain doesn't ruin our annual park egg hunt, but we are looking forward to a fun filled weekend of activities celebrating our Lord and Savior rain or shine!
