CLIFF JUMPING!!!!!

Early Friday morning we loaded up the Scion and set out for our adventure!!!!

Max, Chels, Spence, Emma, Coco, and I were off to Gisela!


The ride in the car was a little squished seeing that we had four people in the back and only three seats! But we are a really close family! So we did just fine!
















Max is Rad.









If anyone has ever been to Gisela they know the hike down is super fun! For the most part there is a trail, but sometimes you must do a little exploring to find your way through the thick, tall, sticky, bamboo reeds! Future reference: Don't forget your machete.




But finally we got there and wasted no time! Collette and I were first! Then Chels and then Spence.










finally Max, who dragged Emma along with him!












We went down the slide we found a few times ago! The slide is not what you would imagine. It is a slope in the rock that, when wet, is slippery and you can slide right down into the water! But it stops about 20 feet above the water and you free fall the rest of the way! Way awesome!
(but don't go head first!)




Here are some shots of the slide!


















View from the top! Right before you go down the slide.









THE HIGH JUMP!
Collette, Spencer, Chels, and I all attempted the (next to) highest cliff! YAH TRICK!


Emma and Matthew chose to boycott the cliffs and relaxed and caught some gnarly crawdads and frogs!



When we all got tired of cliffs, we stopped and had a picnic with some nasty wanna be versions of lunchables! (we'll chose wiser next time!)








We rested a bit and played with TOD The Toad that Coco and I found wedged between two rocks!










































After our quick (but nasty) lunch break- WATERFALL TIME! We traveled against the current and found some radical slippery rocks to slide down!



























































OVERALL IT WAS AN AMAZING MOMENTOUS OCCASION!

Besides everyone getting sunburnt to death, Collette getting dehydrated, and me smashing up my knee cap, We left with our body parts in tact and no one died. Which is a good thing. (for the most part. )
