After the Rain



One of my favorite things to do with the kids after a "rain storm" in San Diego, is to go across the street and walk through the canyon. It is amazing how after a couple of days of rain (especially if there is lots of rain and wind) the canyon is completely alive with character! There were quite a few eucalyptus trees down, a little creek throughout, flowers and colorful mushrooms, and even a few surprises (like a new tree swing). I made a little trail mix with some mini-marshmallows, chocolate covered raisins, pretzels, etc. and gave them each a little baggie to munch on while we expored some nature. Lizzie loved the adventure the most and we have made a few return trips since then to explore and swing. It felt great to get out!
