A hiking we will go...

We have really enjoyed our 1st few weeks here in Washington - 

there is so much to do and see - yesterday we went 

to Multnomah Falls  and saw this lovely part of the world!

Plummeting 620 feet from its 

origins on Larch Mountain, 

Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round 

waterfall in the United States.

Jeb decided he was going o be adventurous yesterday - 

so he loaded us all up into the car - without telling us where we were going - 

and a while later ended up here at this beautiful waterfall! - 

We hiked a mile and a half up - I know that doesn't sound far - 

but with 2 small kids and the inclining switchbacks - 

and with how hot it was yesterday - that mile and a half was quite the trek --- 

but well worth it - because it was a beautiful place to be! 

Thanks Jeb for such a fun surprise family outing!

Kylie got a blister on her foot about 15 minutes into the walk - 

and had to carried up the mountain -- poor Jeb -- 

I guess now I know what our next shopping trip is going 

to be  to find some nice tennis shoes for the kids... haha

Found a cool little cut out in the rocks - 

the kids thought that was awesome!

Especially Brayden -- here he is in his element - 

something he is allowed to climb on!

Brayden was the only one of us brave enough to get right on the edge -- 

Jeb & I both are pretty afraid of heights -- I got a little closer than Jeb - 

to at least get this picture...

Then we stopped for a long while end put our feet in the water... 

I love this shot of the kids - They were so proud of themselves 

for making it to the top of the waterfall.
