1 month into retirment and Mom's already got two stamps in her passport!
We certainly became "one with nature" as our tour guide predicted. We covered an estimated 7 km over the course of the day. We walked various paths through the rainforest to see these stunning views:
We geared up for a ride around the falls in a boat similar to this one. We were told young kids go all the time. 
We became suspicious when we didn't see any kids as we boarded the raft with our three little ones.
The kids were quite excited about the whole thing until the boat actually took off and it was pretty much screams from then on out, culminating at the point we went under the falls and got completely drenched (except for Garrett, Lydia's head and the left side of my body that was under the poncho the boat driver threw us at the last minute). I'm sure the rest of the passengers enjoyed their trip and the crazy Americans who traumatized their children.
(We had a few words for the woman who sold us that part of the tour.)
After the boat was a nice, safe jeep ride through the jungle before we made one last hike to the overlook into Devil's Throat.
At the end of the day, we were all exhausted!

Lydia's face says it all. I can only imagine the expressions on Garrett and Ethan's faces! Good thing for the one to one adult child ratio.
They won't forget this and one day the stories will be really cool!
Oh, boy. At least the day was memorable! Beautiful shots. I only get more and more jealous.
Anything with water sells me! Those falls are spectacular...you have some great photos! WOW! What a trip!
Nothing feels like home more than a jeep ride through the jungle, for sure!
Her face.... OMG, priceless.
The falls are SO beautiful!! What a neat place to be in real life! I'm grateful to get to see them on your blog.
