Multnomah Falls, Oregon

We had an amazing trip to the Gorge to hike to the top of Multnomah Falls. Here's looking up at the falls, we're going to the top! The boys had a lot of fun hiking and playing! It took us A LONG TIME to get up there. Jesse was resting every couple steps. Which worked well because Torrey's Friend from College joined us and she's 7 months pregnant. It was fun hiking with Marie!

Here we are at the top. The falls is just in front of us. It was beautiful!

Bob-a-loo was carried most of the way. That worked well for him, except when he wanted to hike. He sure let us know either way he wanted it!

Here he is hiking! They boys sure love our hiking poles. Too bad the hiking poles became piercing agents for those passing us. It was a great time for all!

Here's Monkey looking over the falls. It was A LONG way down! Monkey was definitely proud of himself for hiking the whole way (just over 1 mile up)!

Check it out! Looking down the falls. Amazing!!!

We've had a great time traveling around Washington and Oregon. This is a fabulous area and we love it!

Hello Garden!

well, we planted our garden this last weekend! We have all the likely candidates: tomatoes, chilis, onion, spinach, broccoli, corn, zucchini, and yellow squash. This year we added some new items, and I'm really excited about them: spaghetti squash, lettuce, basil (oh yeah!!!!), green peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, and pumpkin!
Monkey LOVED helping us plant the seeds. He was given the seeds and a stick broken to the length the seeds were to be separated by and he just went to town. We dup a long hole for him and he was working like a worker bee. He asked if we can plant seeds everyday. I told him he can help weed and harvest! Oddly that sounds good to him, we'll see after the summer is over how much he likes the garden. I'm just hoping this will help him WANT to eat his veggies.
bob-a-loo we're juts trying to keep out of the garden, all he wants to do is dig, dig and dig some more! Good thing we have a sand box, if only I could keep him in it!
