On Sunday we got outdoorsy and went to Silvermine to hunt waterfalls.

This weekend was... Interesting. I remembered a lot about myself and those old little things that seem to haunt you all your life. I faced a few of my weaknesses - we all have them. I have loads.What I really want is to get super healthy and outdoorsy.

Grays took me to the most beautiful place on earth - Silvermine, near Tokai. We hiked along one of the nature trails - about a 4km hike, hunting waterfalls. We found the most beautiful fall - it took all my breath away! I was exhausted on the way back, climbing those rocks. Honestly, it felt like my lungs was a giant, peeling raw scab - but it felt good. I was really struggling but I pushed because pride - because I didn't want Graeme to know how unfit I am, because I didn't want to be the loser that can't finish a 4km hike. 

Then we went to the other gate, to the dam. Beauty upon beauty. We stopped for some water and a little picnic of salmon cream cheese and rice cakes (my best) and then we explored and walked a little bit more. We are definitely going back with the boys sometime for a sunny picnic and play. And Grays has already planned more routes and hikes for us. I'm excited about all of this, and getting myself all healthy and shiny again. Here are a few pictures, and loads of waterfall selfies because you MUST have them.
