This past weekend my sister's family came for a quick visit. They had spent the week at Disneyland and came up here for the weekend. It had been several years since they had been here and they had never really done anything in our surrounding area when they had been here. We were excited to take them on some of our hikes and check out the area. They got here on Friday afternoon and we knew our time was limited. The forecast was predicting a 90% chance of rain for Saturday and the wind was already starting to pick up bringing in the storm.
So, we headed out to Fossil Falls. There are no fossils at fossil falls, it's the falls that are fossilized! It's a lava flow that water has etched out fun crevices, holes and an interesting little canyons. Their family really enjoying finding geocaches and luckily there were a few in the area!
It's a wonderful place to get some fun pictures!
Here's Jim with the cache!
Our token group shot taken with the timer on the camera!!
Jim had been given a "water" type gun that everyone had fun shooting:
N8 and the kids also found a large lizard, here's it's tail:
Saturday started out with a trip to urgent care for a sinus infection for Emma. Then the rain started. So we spent a bit of the day playing the Wii, going to a furniture store, playing games and going to the movies (We saw the Secret world of Arriety, it was cute!). By the time the movie got out the rain had cleared a bit (but the wind was still here) and N8, Jim and Bud headed out to find a few more geocaches while the rest of us tested our skills on Wii Resorts and Wii Fit +. We went to some Mexican for dinner and played games and the kids watched a movie in the evening.
It was a great visit even with the rain. We love having visitors and look forward to our next one!!
