Waterfalls!!

We had an awesome oppurtunity to visit some Brasilian waterfalls a few weekends ago. It was a very neat experience! We went with Pastor, Alessandra, the deSilva family, and Laura. Our 'purpose' of the trip was to evaluate this resort for possible SMASH retreat. It was very nice. Chris and the more 'adventurous' folks went on an one hour long hike up the mountain and through the waist high water.



He had a blast!! But was a little nervous before he left - See pic! But at the end, he thought it was really fun, and would do it again!!




Those of us who were less intrested in Adventure, and taking care of the kids (ME!), we took the 'shortcut.' We still had to do some pretty good climbing, and here is Caleb being a little mountain man!! (With his best bud, Nicolas).




At the end of the hiking was a Natural Slide. So we all, myself included, all took a turn on the slide. We slid off with the water into a pool with only waist high water! So you landed in a big pile of MUCK!! Needless to say, we found at least another half a dozen leaves in our swimsuits!! :) But it was fun!! Here is a pic of Laura jumping/sliding.




Much love,

The Water "FALLING" Fryars!! :)
