The Ape Caves

Saturday Morning -
Ah, it was beautiful and peaceful. After we had all woken up at a leisurely hour, we read a chapter in Exodus, and left with whole wheat rolls and Pam Tarts to head to The Ape Caves - we left our house at about 8:30am (almost an hour after we had "originally" spoken of).

We went here:



Whoops! We weren't here. It just looked like we were. :)

We went here to The Ape Caves:




We tried to get pictures inside, but the lighting was being difficult.

Windy Ridge: After we had tramped around the Ape Caves for a couple of hours, we headed out to Windy Ridge. It was a beautiful drive. 

The panorama view from one of the stops.
Upon arrival at Windy Ridge, we noticed a ginormous staircase leading up a hill and were soon mounting it. 440+ steps (actual steps up, not just walking) later, we reached the top. It was such a beautiful view from there - just look! As mumsie would say, "And we live here!"

The drive back was quiet and peaceful - I'm sure that has nothing to do with how many people were sleeping...
Middle Row
The driver was NOT sleeping...
Yes, you do see a clothespin on Emily's hair.








Hope you all had a fantastic Saturday! We certainly did. :)

O, What a Wonderful Day!

The sky looked like this... all day. 

I'm soo from the NW - I like this weather. :)
The twins and I set out to make Pam Tarts (recipe here).

Original Pam Tarts





We tried a new twist to the Pam Tarts by adding jelly AND peanut butter to them. Ah, they were delicious!


 
The finished product!





We made a total of 60+ Pam Tarts for tomorrow morning's trip to the Ape Caves.
