I enjoy the company of my family a lot as they really are lots of fun. We would go cycling around Singapore just for one whole day or we will go watch a movie or even bowl together. I am really blessed to have such a good family. Let me first introduce my family, I have a family of five with my two parents two younger siblings as well as I. I would say on a whole that my family is generally very happy probably because we have Jesus with us.
Before I tell you one whole story of my family, I better get on to my point. Let me tell you about an activity I enjoyed with them…
It was morning and the sunshine radiated throughout the mountains. The day before, we had arrived at the mountain cabin in the Pyrenees in France. I decided to open my window to get some fresh air. I turned to my window and wow! It was a beautiful sight. There were clouds that had descended on and ringed around the mountain. The clouds were like the sea and the mountains the islands. The scenery was just breath taking. Moreover, the atmosphere was fresh and peaceful and for one moment I actually thought I was in heaven. Soon everyone was awake and it was time for us to go mountain hiking.
After eating breakfast, we were ready. We walked to the path and there started our hike. On the way there were wild blueberries, which I could pick for free and eat. The berries were very sweet and juicy. There were also strawberries and raspberries. As we hiked further in, we saw many small streams and even a river with water so fresh; we could fill up our bottles with it. After the wonderful lunch by the river, it was time for us to carry on our hike further up. It was rather tiring as the roads were not properly paved and some were rather steep. However our efforts were not wasted, as at the top, there was a beautiful lake. We slung down our heavy bags and sat down on the soft mountain grass. The view was just magnificent.
We soon had to walk on and sloppily picked up our bags to carry on. We were now traveling down instead of up. As we were walking down, right before our eyes was the view of the interlocking mountains and the meandering rivers below. Yet, a foot of the path and we would plunge to our death We then reached a river which we followed until we saw a huge waterfall. We were standing on top of it. Wow! The 240 meter tall waterfall looked just wonderful! We held out our palms and allow the splashing water to refresh us. Wow! Spring water better then "Evian"! On the way down, we also saw frogs, tadpoles and even some mountain goats. After hiking for about two hours more, we soon were back at the mountain cabin. Phew! This whole hike took eight hours so you can imagine how tired we were upon reaching back. I really had a wonderful time with my family!!!
