Here, a vista through the portals of time. May you find a panoramic survey with unobstructed shared views? Life unrolled gradually. Covering a wide range of subjects or a long succession of events in the past, present or future with expectations for the future especially for the way a particular situation will develop. Living daily loving God abiding in Gods love for me is my Vista. Please leave your comments.
Your shared views matter.

Carnival of Family Life * Family Travel



Spelunking
Adventure and wonder is tied up in our hearts.
Every so often it must be unfettered to safely fly and stretch wing into flight so matter how courageous.

The men took the kids on such a"Grand Day Out".
After a very long drive to the high country the day was all but spoiled when the navigation's failed on the GPS.
All would have been lost were it not for the quick reflection of Godly kids and a Dad who lead them.
They prayed...
Moments later in that vast forest the opening of the cave was exposed.


Sliding on bottoms you enter the small opening.
A cave Daddy man has often visited in his life as a native Arizonan.

The flows, straws and stalagmites/stalactites were a wonderland for eager minds.

Everyone was well equipped (except I would of liked to see them roped together personally)

This is the first pool

very tall and about 2 1/2 feet deep.
Clear until they mucked in it.
COLD!

The children had a instant shocking study in the temperature difference an under earth pool has under the above ground.
Like 40 degrees. They were shocked by the cold water.

All was well I am told except after these were to be placed back on.
The socks were BLACK!
I told Daddy Man to remember this...
When they get to be melting down on you give them food! A snack every so
He reported back the wisdom of my council and the quick effect of said snack, it saved the day!

Clicking on images will enlarge them.
See the ceiling straws.
The children know not to destroy.
Dove was the first on across the pool.
The girl loves an adventure.
(I would of liked a rope :)

This is the wall you have to climb to get to the pool.
It is the wall of the first chamber as you slide into the opening.

On top of the wall the children caught first sight of the first pool and the far wall.

Fun
fun


Spelunking is caving.


Me I stayed home and played in the solitude.

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
