One blistering hot Sunday morning we decided to all get out early and enjoy a very long hike in MacRitchie Park. We headed for the Treetops trail because we have been meaning to check out this suspension bridge. The problem is that the trail is one way so you have to complete the whole circuit, can't turn around. Today, we felt prepared enough to conquer it.
There were plenty of monkey along the way.
The kids took a lesson from Totoro and turned these big leaves into sun parasols.
Here we go across the suspension bridge.
Watch out for monkey poo.
Woah, that's a long way down.
Here you can see a bit beyond the nature reserve and back to where the high rises begin again.
There were many, many, many steps.
Can you spot the jungle-sized ant?
When we got home, it was time for water fun on the balcony.
And magna-tiles. Always magna-tiles. Notice the chandeliers at the princess ball?
Unfortunately, the next day marked the beginning of 2-3 weeks of sickness for the whole family. Wyatt missed school the whole next week. Eleanor and Zoe missed many days. The following week Ted had to work from home for two days because I was too sick to get out of bed. Terrible.
But then we all got better just in time to head to Bali. Those blogs will be next. And they will be beautiful.
