オレゴンでの夏休み

今朝は朝の5時からAkemiの目覚ましがけたたましく鳴り、何回もsnoozingでやり過ごしてから、6時に皆で湧き上がりました。
こんなに朝早く起きる事は滅多にないのですが、遊びのためには命をかけねばなりません。笑。

片道2時間弱のトレッキング。
まだ朝が早いためか、鳥のさえずり声が周囲にこだまするように聴こえて癒されます。

深淵を見つけてそこに真っ先にジャンプしたのはAkemi。
子供らは繰り返し光の中へ飛び込んでいきますが、私は1回でもう十分。水が半端なく冷たくて、10秒以上浸かっていると足がしびれてきます。ただエメラルド色に輝くその水は、大変綺麗で感動です。

岩肌を流れる清流に乗って滑り台のように滑るスライダーもやってみました。最後は滝壺のプールにドボンと落ちるのですが、水深が充分あって足も怪我することなく楽しめました。

しばし夏休みの1日を堪能しました。

"これは主が設けられた日。この日を楽しみ喜ぼう。"
詩篇　118篇24節

This morning, Akemi's alarm went off loudly at 5am and kept going as snoozing function a lot of times. After we made it through, we all sprung up at 6:00am.

I rarely get up this early in the morning, but I have to risk my life for the sake of play. LOL.

The trek took less than two hours each way.
Maybe because it's still early in the morning, the chirping of the birds is soothing as it echoes around us.

We found an pool and Akemi jumped there first fearlessly.
My kids repeatedly jumped into the pool, but once was enough for me. The water is so cold that my feet go numb after more than 10 seconds in the water. However, the emerald color of the water is very beautiful and impressive.

We also tried the slider, which is a slide with a clear stream running down the rock face. At the end of the slider, we fall into the pool of the waterfall, but the water was deep enough to enjoy it without injuring our feet.

We enjoyed a summer vacation for a while.

"This is the day that the Lord has established. Let us enjoy and rejoice in this day."
