Pure Happiness


Today we headed out on another adventure. We looked on our map and found out that the tallest waterfall on the island was on our side of the island and only one bus ride away. It is called Mt. Carmel and is located on a fellows land. He charges a $1 and lets you hike in. Let me tell you, it was well worth our buck. We loved it. It was neat to hike through the lush landscape and then through the trees see an spectacular water fall. Alex kept saying how much cooler this was than the Concord fall. He really liked the trek part and that we were the only people around.


The best part of my day was when he asked if I would climb up on the rocks with him and stand under the waterfall. My usual answer to questions like this is ....."Ask your Dad". Once I see Graham do it, then I will usually follow suit but this time, I said "SURE"! He was shocked. While Amelia and Graham swam, Alex and I made our way up the slippery rocks and stood under the rushing water. He let out the loudest hollar you have ever heard. Pure happiness is what I felt. This new plan of getting out the house is working out!

  1. WOW!! That looks like soooo much fun!

    How did you get those pictures of all of you in the water? Was someone else there or did you actually set your camera and get into the water and pose in time?

  4. I set the timer and then tried to make a run for it. The first pic was just one of my behind, so I omitted that. I tried again and still didn't make it. So Alex did the honors and was a way faster swimmer than I was! Mom, there is also a link to all of the photo albums on the right hand side of the blog. It is beautiful here but the only problem is that you're not here! Miss ya in Grenada. Julie
