Twin Falls

Happy Birthday Sofia!! Today, Sunday, she turned 6 years old. Big girl now! We sang to her and she got breakfast in bed. And off course, presents! She liked the chalks I gave her but she also got a new princess dress, a game and some dolls. Later they went to the store build a bear and she got t o build her own stuffed bear. Well actually she made a unicorn, a pink one. And it's so cool, you can hear it's heartbeat and it laughs. She also got a perambulator for it :)

I was invited to go on a field trip with Anna, a German girl, and Kadda. I was so happy cause this was my only day off and it would be nice getting out from the house. Anna picked me up in her VOLVO! ;) and we went to Kadda and then started our trip to North Bend, a small town with mountains all around. We stopped at Snoqualmie Falls and we saw the waterfall but we couldn't come to the bottom because they were building. But it was cool, don't really know how high it was but it was enough for me ;)

We continued our trip to North Bend and Mount Si that was the mountain we wanted to hike on. When we came to the town we went to a tourist information and they said that we were crazy thinking of going up the mountain in one hour (that was what someone had told Anna) but the nice lady directed us to Twin Falls instead. She thought that would fit us perfectly. So after a meal at the pizza place we went to the start point of the path up to the waterfall. It was so beautiful. We walked along the river and climbed at the rocks in the water. It wasn't that much water but it was still amazing! The trip up the mountain was a struggle, for Kadda and Anna who don't have soccer legs ;) But it was so worth it! When we came to the top of the fall, there was still a way up to the top of the mountain but we felt satisfied so we went back down. It was easier than uphill and sometime we run down ;)

After that glorious hike we stayed at a Outlet Mall but unfortunately it closed in just one hour so we had no time going through it all. So now we have a reason to come back! Actually we talked about making the whole way up the mountain, start in the morning.

It was a long day, Anna picked me up at like 11 am and I was back home at like 11 pm. After the hike we went to Kadda's place and watched the new movie: Homecomming with Mischa Barton. It was OK. A horror/psychic movie about and ex-girlfriend trying to kill the new girl to get back her boyfriend. It felt like a low budget movie but it was interesting to watch Barton in a different character as the obsessed psychic ex-girlfriend. She did it really well. Then we watched the premiere of Desperate Housewives. I have not followed that series, but Kadda has (off course ;)) it was OK but I don't think I'm stuck with it ;)

Oh, now I feel so good, with all the fresh nature and the air. Yeah, this was one of the best days this far!

Miss you all!

Love Sandra
