Kellan is rounding his performance into form. He put on quite a variety show in Big Sur. A mix of Broadway musical and Disney film genres, it starts out upbeat and finishes on a more somber note as he appears to be praying to God to go home. I like how he he borrowed from his personal tribulations to really make it come to life.

We woke up the next day and had a rare lazy morning around camp. We then convinced the kids to go on a short “walk” to a waterfall. We knew it was actually a 2mi long hike. We did not appreciate that it was straight uphill.

We spent the next hour encouraging, coaxing, bribing and finally carrying Kellan to the waterfall. Greta made it on her own…barely. After wiping away the tears and finishing a cookie, we all agreed it was a really fun hike.

Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, we gave the kids what they have been waiting 25 days for – a chance to splash in the freezing cold Pacific Ocean! Kellan went ass over head at one point and came up soaking wet but with a big smile on his face.
