Cousin Movie Night/Hike!


That's a good time. Some of the best memories I have are with my amazing cousins, and last night/today we definitely made some great ones. The older set of cousins all got together and ate...too many cookies and brownies. Played some music, and started the movie. Watched the new Karate Kid. Must say, I liked it a lot. Haha....and there were for sure some amazingly awesome comments made:) I am ashamed to say, namely by Nonnor and me. *sigh* Oh well. It was super fun. Can't wait till next time.


Then we all watched videos on Lyss' laptop for about an hour or so.....


By this time it was midnight, and Ash and Joel decided to hit the hay. We all stayed up for quite a while longer talking....cousins stuff.


And took more pictures.....and ate more cookies..........


This morning we all got up and had a wonderful breakfast together. Thank you, Ashy!


Started packing everything up and getting ready to head out....

Everyone had a hat today...theme I guess.


And off we went..out to the great unknown. Way too much laughing going on........


First we went out to the old cemetery...


Found one of our relatives grave stones.
W.H.H.




After a bit we hiked down to the "Jesus cave." Spent a while at the spring there too. So pretty. Climbed tress for a few hours. :)


And yeah...went back into the cave.


Terrifying. Truly.




This is me, making some kind of a relieved face after Col scared me with a fuzzy thing....*sigh*


Ah, now Kels discovered this. See, this here is ancient Swatabii. Translation: "Turn your eye to the light, go from blindness to sight."
Thank you, Kelsey.


Lunchtime. Joely built us an amazing fire in the creek bed, and we roasted hot dogs. And....Nonnor ate all the chips.



Back on the road again.



What a great day. Thank you Lord, for beautiful weather, wonderful friends, and an amazing farm. Such a blessing. I love the country.

See y'all next time,

Meg

Glad you had fun. Wish I had awesome cousins that lived close so we could have beastly times like that. lol

Farm Kids said...

I wonder, Ashy;) All I know is, you two are the cutest couple ever;) lol
Thank you Elizabeth! This one is named mostly cause of the beautiful spring and deep holes. It is really breath-taking. One of the little kids named it several years ago. :)
Yup Daniel, wild times. It's really a blessing.
