After being up so late with Clarissa, I couldn’t believe it when my kids got up at the crack of dawn–ready to play. They woke up Clarissa, who basically was almost delirious with fatigue and just held onto me for dear life twenty minutes, staring confusedly at everyone.
We packed everyone into the car and drove five minutes to the Valley of the Goblins, where we played until it started to get hot. (Okay, everyone else played. I wandered around sleepily and found various places to perch myself.)
And then it got hot and we retreated to the picnic pavilion to eat breakfast. Then we all packed up the tent and drove home. On the way, we stopped at all of the pull-offs to view the San Rafael Reef. It stopped us in our tracks! We have driven this road before but completely forgot (or maybe worse, never noticed?) how jaw-droppingly beautiful it is.
When we got home, I was honestly so tired I was seeing stars. But we changed into our suits and took our kids and Eli to the pool to kill a couple hours before bedtime. Plus, the pool is going to close soon and we need to use up our punches!
