Once we got there, the fog started to lift, and the sun began to shine. It turned out to be a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine and a nice breeze.
Katie found herself a "hiking stick," as she called it...
We hiked upon an interesting tree. Its bark was really smooth...
and its limbs were windy...
This was part of a huge bush at the foot of a mountain...
The kids had fun finding and throwing rocks in the creek...
We saw lots of lizards...
Then we went to the Morman Rocks Station of the San Bernardino National Forest.
Scientists believe that these huge rocks were formed from seismic activity "millions" of years ago. This provided an opportunity for us to talk to the kids about the Great Flood and and that the smooth surface on the rocks suggest that they had been submerged in water for a length of time. It seems to me that if an earthquake caused these rocks to form and move into the position in which they sit today, then they would be jagged instead of smooth.
One of my favorite pictures...
After hiking, we got some Krispy Kremes and drove back to the hotel, relaxed for a little bit and then went swimming. We had the pool to ourselves today which was really nice. Katie invented her own "sprinkler" system (again, self-named) by twirling her wet hair in circles, thus sprinkling everthing around her. She's silly. Emily kept jumping in the pool with her legs bent a spread out like a frog. She's silly too! After more a few hours, we cleaned up and went to Boston's for dinner.
It was another great day in California!
