Does it get any better?


We wound up not bringing the bikes with us, but wishing that we had. It was so much fun to hike with the kids. At first Emma thought she couldn't do it, but with a little encouragement she was having as much fun as we were. Tyler is ever more adventurous and was climbing every climbable rock in sight. Noah most enjoyed the smores and hated the cold mornings. I think everyone did though.

People amaze me though. It's funny how anxious to be contrary humans are. We hiked to the emerald pools one day. In the summer these pools are truly emerald green. I think it has to do with the bloom of the algae. But right now they are really amber colored. Everyone and their kids were so quick to dismiss the beauty of the place. They never questioned the affect of the season on the color of the pools. We did get to see some cute little lizards though and and some amazing sites. And it's always fun to share the wonders of nature with little people.

I don't think I've ever heard you so inclined towards poetic commentary. You must have a heavy dose of Karlinsey in you, because you've got that nature appreciation gene. I like nature too (in intervals), but it is wasted on me commpared with you.

P.S. How does Tyler like having a mini me? Noah looks more and more like him everyday it seems. They are both so cute. By the way I have a couple of CDs I made for you and am sending so, look for something in the mail on Thursday or Friday. I think I have your address. If I don't I'll write or call later.

Okay, I watched "Hot and Fuffy." That was really funny. They have Newsradio on insta watch now too. I've been watching that all week. My neighbors probably think I'm having an cardiac arrest every night I'm laughing so hard.

what's candida? By the way, I just read your comment to my story about honesty and I laughed really hard. That's a good one. And I lied, I haven't finished your CD case yet. I haven't gotten around to getting the cover done yet, so don't look in the mail for a few more days yet. I'm calling it "Newtongrahamlicious Vols. 1& 2" though. I hope you like it.
