Last Saturday James took Ethan and I hiking. It was the first day all week that we finally had some sunshine. We were ready to get out of the house and enjoy the beauty of Monterey. It was my first time as the sole photographer, so please be kind as you view. I was trying to practice taking a lot of pictures, so there will be times where it will feel like a play by play, but please enjoy :)
We did two hikes that day and here we are starting out on our first one at the top of the bridge.
A little disclaimer for this next picture...apparantly I am not allowed to take a shower before hiking. I was really lucky I was given time to put my hair in braids. So needless to say, this is the only picture of me you will see.
Ethan was such a trooper climbing down the face of this cliff. There were moments when he was shaking and begging James to carry him down, but that would have been impossible to do. James was able to talk him down it and he was sold on the rock climbing after that. I have to admit there were moments I was quite nervous myself.
This was the view on one side of us...
this was the view on the other side of us. So beautiful! I wish the camera could capture it better.
This is the first cliff that we climbed down.
That log looks innocent, but when it was my turn...lets just say it wasn't so nice to me.
This is where we hiked to get back up to the bridge. We ended up having to cross two rivers without bridges because it had been raining so much.
How could you not love that face?
If you can find James and Ethan in this picture you get a gold star for the day :)
There was another smaller stack of rocks there, so of course James had to build a bigger and better one. Then we had a contest to see who could knock it down first by throwing rocks at it. Who won you ask?...me of course :)
We found some bones on the side of the cliff, so they had to go check them out :/
This is right above the waterfall that we happened upon.
If you can't tell...I liked the waterfall.
It was so beautiful...a waterfall and a beach all to ourselves.
