Tree Top Walk on Macritchie Trails


We were aching for a little wilderness this weekend and took the girls on a hike.  We ended up hiking a little over three miles (a miracle if you know Greta very well) and really enjoyed the wildlife and differences from our usual hikes in Virgina.   It felt like the perfect day.  We topped it off by going to the Hawker stalls for dinner... everyone was happy ALMOST the entire time.... A miracle that will not repeat it self...... for some time anyway.







So hot we have taken to giving the girls cooling packs for their heads.









I need a zoom lens! 


If you look in the middle of the picture you will see the little guy.....












Are you serious you want me to walk back 1.4 K?  With a bribe of chocolate dipped strawberries... she made it!


I only felt like this for a moment.... it passed quickly.

    Hi Jonette. Susan and I just finished reading your blog and we loved pics as well as your writing style.

    I really plan on visiting next Oct, 2012 and already want to see the zoo;beach take walks and observe people 'saving face'.

    The girls look great in all your pics.

    By the way, I played golf today and have a lower back spasm; I miss you even more than usual.

    Is Singapore really as hot as a DC summer?
