A day of rest

This is down stairs from our place we had to pose with everyone else who passed

This is the plan for the area right outside our deck.
We studied this closely and find it is mostly grass and trees.
Nice

Sunday is our day of rest. We don't swim, shop or party. After a peaceful morning we started our walk to rainbow park and a beautiful lake. This is our favorite place to spend Sunday afternoon the views are so heavenly. Poor bleach boys feet can no longer tramp these long trails so he drove the car to the park and Mirishana and I walked. Here is our Journey!

yes walking we only see the back of our companions
and remember bleach boy is driving over so he's not in any of these photos.

Mirishana is learning to master her way around she really has a good memory for landmarks

Today she mastered the signs. Everything here is posted but when you want to go home that Yellow village sign is most welcome. Today we are following the rainbow park sign

I don't usually hurry my hikes, I love the out of doors too much to rush but this heat is killing us!

Here is a sign that is telling us we are getting closer.
We have learned with metrics you figure if the number is getting smaller you're good.

Finally we made it to the lake, we are so very hot!

We did some drawing and some reading
Mirishana made Gorp so we munch it as we enjoy the day.

The park began to fill up

Everyone is always amazed when they see their first BIG skunk cabbage

We make a regular pause to check Mirishana's thermometer
we learned when hiking in the sun it was nearly 90 degrees F and hiking in the shade dropped it to 85 degrees.
Give me the shade then!

Yes the trail is long but we made it back almost 4 miles each way!
