Beedelup Falls

Posted by: blissfule In: Western Australia

Still in the Karri forest, we stopped for a picnic near Beedelup Falls before hiking the loop around the waterfall.

The best view was from a suspension bridge at the base of the falls.

traipsing through the treetops

Posted by: blissfule In: Western Australia

The playground in Donnybrook was just a stop on our way to a weekend in Pemberton.
 
The next morning we headed straight to the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk near Walpole.

Thirty eight meters off the ground at the highest point, and running for 420 meters, the suspended steel truss walkway is an engineering marvel, and an excellent way to gently sway through the tingle treetops. This short video clip gives a glimpse of Baba with Nikki on his back and Michael walking alongside.
 
 
We walked the loop twice, with Michael riding on Baba's back the first time, and Nikki riding around the second time. Riding or walking, it was amazing to experience the top of the forest whilst suspended above a deep gully.

Coming back to the ground, Nikki led us to a boardwalk through the Ancient Empire forest.

On the boardwalk, we meandered around and sometimes through tree trunks measuring up to 16 meters in circumference and over 400 years old.

Majestic and peaceful, we very much enjoyed our visit to the tingle forest.

happy Valentines’ day

To celebrate our love this year, we took an impromptu family photo...




... and for the first time we had our traditional Valentines' meal of Chinese food delivered to us rather than going out to eat. Perfect for snuggling!

Nikki turns one

Posted by: blissfule In: London

After a week in southwest England, we left our bed and breakfast for a Holiday Inn in Central London. A receptionist saw our beautiful daughter and gave her her first doll. We also spent an afternoon shopping for gifts at Hamleys , a huge and fabulous toy store. Here we are aboard a bus on our shopping day.



On our way from London down to Ben's training course we spent the afternoon with Mary, Pete and Ally at their home in Redhill. Time passed all too quickly before we had to leave for a Sunday evening session of Ben's training course. Mary invited us to stay with them over Christmas, and we are very much looking forward to that.

Ben's course was in southeast England, near the picturesque town of Arundel .

 

We stayed at the Hilton Avisford Park , which has lovely grounds - the perfect opportunity for some first birthday commemorative photos.


Refreshed after two weeks in the south of England, we are safely back in Cairo. Happy to be in our home, and already planning our next holiday.

1100 photos

Posted by: blissfule In: USA

During our two week trip to Colorado and Utah, Ben and I filled the 1 gigabyte memory card on our camera. We even overflowed into the 16mb card that came with the camera. Eleven hundred photos, and these are my top forty.

Blissful E is about parenting peacefully, sustainably, joyfully, and with a view toward maximizing long-term benefits for the entire family.
 
I believe that the more wisely we invest in the early years of our children's lives, the greater the benefits for us and them as they grow.
 
Look around, share your thoughts, and grow with us!
