Finding Grace

Walking on sunshine

Last weekend was epic.
Goes down in my book as one of the best. I even have the bruises to prove it.
When I had kids I swore I wouldn’t let it stop me from doing anything I wanted to do. As of this weekend, that included hiking a ridiculously huge mountain. With the help of babywearing, we successfully hiked the rainforest for 5 hours where we visited an ancient Ingenious Indian village. The day only got sweeter when swam in the breathtaking ocean and camped along the water. So close you could hear the waves crashing on the white sand beaches.
The day couldn’t have been more perfect. Even if I am still sore from carrying both the babies, sleeping on the ground and wearing the totally wrong shoes. The trip reminded me of how beautiful god’s creation is, how perfectly he planted each tree, laid each stone and placed each grain of sand. Every once in a while we all need an, ah god is good moment.
In the words of John Mayer, you should have seen it with your own eyes...because really, the pictures don’t do this place justice.
But here you go anyway, I’d be depriving you not to share.
 


Luis looked like a travel guide

Nico and me (with Char) inside of the huge rocks




Nico making friends...







Nico standing with the rock where Indians performed sacrifices
 The step like indentations were for blood to pool



Half way up the mountain



Sleepy dust even on the trails
"...hike not suitable for children under 5"...without babywearing


And all of that to get to this... worth it?
Welcome to paradise
 
-Peace and Grace
