La Sierra

Yesterday we got to enjoy a wonderful day away from the city. We love the wilderness and being able to get out into God's creation. Majalca state park, was the site of these pictures and because of all the rain it was beautiful up there. Trees, flowers, grass, and wildlife were just a few of the things that we got to experience.

Our good friends, and future partners, the Eversons also joined us. They love the outdoors as well, and really enjoyed this trip. Countless times during our time in Majalca comments were made about needing to get back out there to camp. Needless to say, we are planning a trip for the near future!!!

Enjoy the pics!!!

One of the routes we climbed while in Majalca.



Just a little battle scare from the climb in the picture before this one!



Jeremy at the top, cleaning it and then coming down. I lead this route, and took home a nice reminder of it (pic above).

Faith, our sweet German Shepard, yes that is right a long haired German Shepard and she is about 11 months old.



The kids playing in the creek. In order from left to right (Kiera, Jonas, Eliana, and Caleb)



Caleb on the hike, with his walking stick.





Getting to where we parked, and then explored, requires driving through a river bottom, and part of our adventure out at Majalca was helping two trucks get unstuck!!!





More pics of the natural plant life!












The house and barn of one of the Ranchers that lives near Majalca.







We hope you enjoyed the pics, as much as we enjoyed taking them!

Enjoying life in Chihuahua - Outing to the Deportiva

One of the things we have loved doing, is going down to the main park in town called the "Deportiva". There are trees, grass, people, aniamls, food, fun, and trees...oh yea and grass!!! On this particular day we rode the bus, from our house down to the park and back and in the midst of our adventure we got poured on!!! Here are some pics from our outing.




Lisa and the kids, trying to warm each other up after getting soaked in the rain, and while waiting for the bus.



Rain, rain, and more rain...




















Prior to getting poured on, we did get to experience a beautiful day of sunshine at the Deportiva. Here the kids are playing on what Mexicans call, "Brinka Brinka". They had a lot of fun trying to reach the top and then come down.












Eliana enjoying some wonderful orchata.






Looking to buy some pan from the pan man! The bread that we got from him was wonderful, and sweet!!!
