Just a few miles from our house, tucked away where it was a little difficult to find, was this little gem Plumpton Rocks. To get in you turn down a "road" which our car was very nearly too wide for. Then you pass a little shack with a person sitting in a lawn chair collecting money for your entry. After that you have to find parking in an area not remotely resembling a parking lot and then navigate your way to any type of path. Once you get past all that, you are rewarded with quite a nice scenic area. It is mostly a small lake with large rock outcroppings and a path around the lake. It was very beautiful and we would have spent a significant amount of time there, but Hilde was stung by a hornet, her first sting ever, and we made a quick exit. The poor girl was pretty scared by the whole thing, but she was brave enough to ask if we could stop on our way back and have daddy say a blessing for her to get better. She doesn't want to go back any time soon though.
A nice view of the lake, and my pregnant belly a couple of weeks before giving birth. We think we can take the kids fishing here sometime.
The hornet sting swelled up right away to the size you see here, but within an hour the swelling was gone and you had to look to find the spot where she was stung.

That is beautiful- should we make it over there while you are there, we want this on the list of things to do!
Poor Hilde- I hate it when those things come out of nowhere and sting! I am glad she got over it ok.
