I scooped some red sauce for my spaghetti:

Happy Mother’s Day!

It was hot yes, but not blistering hot because the mountain breeze was cool. There was one problem though, we didn’t wear any Backpacking Boots. I wore my rubber slippers and though it was not slippery on the way down the water falls, it made me think how unprepared I was for the hike.

There’s my pair of feet, one foot is struggling to keep still so I won’t slip, lol:

We had so much fun! The kids went swimming after we hiked.

Summer means that snow boots, hot tub covers, winter coats and scarves are back in the closets.

Some tips to remember when you go swimming:

• put on sunblock
• wear goggle to protect your eyes
• use flotation devices if you can’t swim
• do not swim when intoxicated
• have fun without hurting others

Summer is fun. Swimming is fun. Take the best precautions and you will enjoy the rest of your summer.

I don’t bring a netbook with me anymore. and it has really improved the way my bag weighs, lol.

The downside of having a mobile tablet is that when the kids start using the device for their games, I am left with nothing to do. I told my husband a kindle Fire would serve me well, especially when I want to read my e-books

The water is so clear you can see the texture of the rocks where the water runs:

The water comes from this waterfalls.
