Multnomah Falls, and New "Chair"

Last Thursday(july 23) Chris called me at 10am and said his patient didn't show up so he was free so we decided to take a trip to Multnomah Falls. I had only been there once and only looked at the falls. We Hiked to the TOP!!

These are on the bridge before the trail goes up and up and up and up and up

Here is the TOP of the Falls

Cooper's favorite part of the trip... Being able to be free

It was fun hard but fun

Cooper Loves to just hang out in is "chair"

I love how he is just lounging

one more

we call this his snorty face

What do you get when you cross an inchworm with a sidewinder?

you get Cooper Crawling

My Favorite Sound

I love his laugh when he is really going. He had been laughing, yes at me, for about 5 min before we got the camera. In case you're wondering, I was dancing around, C obviously thinks my dancing is funny.

More pictures of our weekend in Springfield

Mom brought out the chocolate and Cooper wanted in on the action

So proud he got some but they fell off .. so what do you do.....Dig in with your hands

This was on Sunday the 5th. we were in Corvallis for Hannah's blessing. we got there early and there is a park next to the parking lot so Cooper picked me a Flower

Sahalie Falls

While we were in Springfield Chris Cooper and I had the chance to go with Mom Dad Kevin and Erica hiking at Sahalie Falls. It was so nice and beautiful. even though it was 90 degrees it was nice and cool on the trails in the shade and next to the water.

Here is Sahalie Falls

Chris and Cooper Ready to go. This was the first time we have used the pack. Cooper really enjoyed himself.

Kevin and Erica


My awesome Parents.
(aren't they adorable)

Kevin was excited to be around so much green
(he's been in Idaho since april)
along the trail
the LOOK

Kevin had to show his muscles
So he pulled the rock apart
the beautiful falls
If you like to hike or just want an easy walk through the trees and next to some great falls and water you should do Sahalie falls. Its about an hour east of Springfield on hwy 126. its a great family outing.
