MULTNOMAH FALLS, Troutdale, OR

We have had a week of GORGEOUS weather....bright, sunny skies, in the 50's and 60's....we have been loving life outdoors (sorry to my sister-in-law, Liz).....anyway, today was no different...we just couldn't see staying home to do one of our many Saturday (indoor) projects....so, we went to Multnomah Falls in Troutdale, OR....only about 40 minutes away....they have a 1 mile trail (steep in parts) that we walked up....didn't quite make it the whole way....I could have, but Matthew and the kids were a little out of breath....we think we got close though!!! Next time! Anyway, it was a fun outing, and the falls are beautiful!!!--pictures dodn't really do it justice---you have to come and see it for yourselves! At a few points along the trail, because of how big the falls are, and how close you are, you can feel the water from the falls spraying you, and the ground around you is all wet!!! (Travis....are you a little homesick???)

taking a little break along the trail!! (in Matthew's defense, he was carrying Kayleigh the whole way up!!!)

Must be nice to work from bed!!!!

Ok, so I am still not totally use to the fact that Matthew works from home! His office in the garage is still a work in progress....it WILL be done by summer....but in the meantime, I have to laugh at him when I see where he decides to work each day!!! A lot of mornings, he is in bed until noon....to his defense, he is REALLY working....but I always tease him and ask him when he is going to start working for the day!!! Also, when I took theses pictures and told him he was making it in the blog today, he said, "But I don't always stay in bed until noon....sometimes I am on the couch or in the rocking chair...." Don't let that fool you, though! He is always in his pj's!!! I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!
