There is a place in Santa Cruz just up in the mountains called the Mystery Spot. It is really neat and kind of indescribable. Kevin and I have visited there once before back when Lizzy was a baby, but it was fun to go again. There is something that is really weird about it. It gravity is off or something and all kinds of weird things happen. Our guide poured water down a board and it came back up the end that looked like it was pointing up. Some people think it is some kind of trick but it really feels like there is something to it. It is somewhere fun to go anyway.
The guide did some fun little experiments with people and that made it fun.
He did take this picture tilted, but Kevy and Annie really were very tilted.
Unfortunately Jarom took these pictures that are the one where everyone is tilting so much. He took them a little sideways so everyone looks even more tilted then they were, but we all really did have a lean. It was crazy. I know critics say that it is an optical illusion. but I know that when you get to the center of the mystery spot, I felt weird, really dizzy. And it was pulling you one way it was so hard to walk.
After the tour we let the kids pick out a souvineer. Russy saw this builder hat with a working light on it and it was over from there. It didn't matter that it was way more than we wanted to spend, he had to have it, so naturally Kevy got it for him because he is is only boy! He is a little spoiled! Lizzy and Jane found key chains with their names on them so thats what they wanted, and Nellie was very angry that there wasn't one with her name. I felt bad. She ended up getting some cool magnets.
We had such a fun time with our big group! I love being part of a big family!!
