It's a Giant Hole!!!

This is Oliver and Ben.



Mum said it was our turn to write on this blog (bahahahaha).

We have been instructed to write about our day at the Great Hole.

It all began last night with ambitious dreams about waking up early. This morning at 11 o'clock we achieved this dream. We arrived at the foxhole just after 11:15. After Mum, Ben and myself had been walking around finding food and places to fill up our water bottles we finally found dad who had gone to park the car. Excitedly we jumped on the red route bus that took us to the very western end of the walkable trails. Once more we stopped for food and drinks; after which we started the long trek back to the cabin. 10m down the bitumen path mum happened to spot a small winding goat trail much closer to the rim. Dad sighed. Mum jumped over the powerless barrier designed for her safety and took off down the path. Ben let about 1 second pass before he also jumped, unfortunately a little far..... R.I.P Ben ... photos to come.... jokes! he just took off after mum. Oliver being the angel that he is, felt sorry for his father being abandoned by his wife and child and stayed by his side and gave him a shoulder to lean on. Well they had an awesome time walking down the BUILT path playing kick the rock and hit the cheesecake (the cheesecake was a very large rock at the bottom of the hole shaped like a piece of cheesecake) Meanwhile mum and Ben enjoyed living life on the edge taking HEAPS of photos (NOTE: Dad and myself were unable to take any photos of our fun because mum and Ben took all three cameras) some of which are rather impressive. They may tell you that their journey was much funner and more exciting, however, dad and I were able to spend a large amount of our time bonding and having fun without living in fear of the falling from the edge. After walking 3.7 miles (7.7km) from Hermits Rest to Mohave Point Dad couldn't take it any longer. We needed to catch the bus to get to Hopi Point to watch the sunset in time. To our surprise, Ben and Mum were already on the bus having caught after walking 2.7 miles (4.5 km) but they assure us that they had more fun and got to see just as much as us (we don't actually understand how that works) After watching the sunset, we drove back down to our cabin and ate at the same place we did last night. This is all we have time for because our money is running out.

Goodbye until we meet again (or until you read this again - either or) :)
