Bios on the Hill

This Saturday we visited a place called 'Bios on the Hill', which ended up being a mix between a nature park, petting zoo, swing park, botanical garden, and historical ruins...

Little Shrub Houses
We don't know how they grew them, but these little homes made entirely of live shrubs were pretty amazing. First mentioned in the year 1229 on the ancient scrolls of the 7th Ryukyu King Wass-upp-wit-tat, these shrub houses are believed to be the world's oldest known remains of a colony of little people.



Denver, McCall and Holly Brave the Treacherous Dragon Pond Boardwalk



Chillin'



Log Swings
These technological marvels feature a large pole platform, a log and two ropes. Log swings are much less forgiving than a plastic swing if you happen to wander in front of someone while they are in mid-swing. Consequently, log swings have been outlawed in the United States by the SSSSS (Society of Swing Safety Standard Specialists).



Goats and Water Buffalo
What else could make a little girl so happy? The water buffalo were pretty mellow and McCall had fun petting them. Interacting with the water buffalo made Jason realize that he was not meant to be one of them. He just couldn't imagine himself being content with others leading him around by a rope that has been threaded through his nose. Not to mention that pulling around a wagon full of tourists all day would be a real drag.

Your camping/biking trip looks like it was such a blast. It is a bummer we weren't there to be in on it, too. I thought the lifting the rock = prego is pretty funny. I hope Denver isn't knocked up. XO!
