Natural View Restaurant in Miao Li

This trip actually occurred two weekends ago.  Thomas had to go to his company's end-of-the-year party, so we joined with our neighbors to go to Miao Li County and enjoy some fresh air.  It helped that their son is Maya's best friend, and the boy who she says she's going to marry :)

The restaurant food was typical, but as you'll see below, the view most definitely was not.  I didn't take very many pics because I was too busy enjoying some warm, sunny weather with the kids, but the ones I did snap show how beautiful this place is.   


This is the large grassy area outside of the restaurant.  That's not the restaurant in the back, I think it's a rental hall.  Yes, I forgot to take a picture of the restaurant, oops!


Laurence, the boy who Maya loves :)


 Hanna making her way up the slope to ring the bell in the chapel.



Still going...


The charming little outdoor chapel, complete with gorgeous blue sky.  I planned it that way.


Maya trying to ring the bell...



...and then running away when the bell sounds and the chain comes swinging back at her!


Me, too!!!







Hanna had a great time with Lou during this trip.  He played ball with her and climbed around the grassy slopes with her.  That's him following her in the pic below.


Hanna was fascinated with this stone.  She just kept staring at it because...


...it was a speaker!  


Why, Mama?  Why?  Why is there music coming from that stone?


Towards the end of the afternoon, we started getting the "I'm sleepy.  Leave me alone." look.



The things moms do for a great picture.  Vicky was trying to get them both to jump up at the same time.  I think she's still there waiting!







DON'T TELL THOMAS!!!


Was that good timing, or what?  Maybe I could teach poor Vicky.




I have no idea why, but Hanna kept wanting to balance on this rock.  She just about fell on her head doing it, but it was silly fun :)
