Adventures with the Cranes (and a Pim)

Today Hannah, Sam, Caleb, Josiah, Micah and I decided to go for a ‘little walk’ to the river…

After an hour we were making our way down a steep hill into the valley. Using our ‘Bear Grylls’ survival tactics (which we brush up on every Wednesday night) we tackled the highest grass I’d ever seen- following the narrowest dirt/clay track I’d ever been on….but these guys are pros! They led me through the thick scrub til we reached a beautiful stream. We stopped just long enough to cool down before climbing up the bank and following an even smaller trail, which led us to the pools (the nicest part of the river)! It was so beautiful! The water was lovely and cool and created a tiny waterfall as it cascaded down rocks into the area where we were resting.

Definitely worth the walk (and the walk back- involving climbing up the steep hill- which seemed much more like a mountain going up it!!)

The views were incredible and i couldn’t help but feel incredibly blessed that I got to experience this small part of God’s creation.

Enjoy the photos!

No matter how steep a hill is- people still manage to find ways of growing their crops

Made it!!!!

Rest time!
