So far, this has been a very active Labor Day weekend for us, with hiking galore! Here are the boys at Bridal Veil Falls. Best picture of Doug and the boys EVER!
I wish I got to ride in one of these packs.
Kyle enjoyed hiking, but for me, hiking with a 3 (and a half) year old was much more stressful than before we had kids. My vivid imagination kept coming up with scenarios involving my little guy falling down a cliff or getting pounced on my a mountain lion.
Bridal Veil Falls
We were lucky enough to be at the Bridal Veil lookout just as a train went underneath - Kyle was jazzed. There is I84 and the Columbia River, too.
Ryan thoroughly enjoyed "hiking" and refused to wear his hat.
Doug and the boys
Extreme close up of Kyle and I on a bridge... what bridge, you ask??
The bridge at Multonomah Falls!
Kyle hiked up there twice - once with Daddy and Ryan and once with mom.
Ryan: "Umm, is anyone else concerned that I am precipitously hanging over the edge here? I mean we are next to a waterfall, people. Luckily, when I go over, this yahoo with the camera who has been taping a WATERFALL for 10 minutes will get it in HD."
Multonomah Falls: "Oh sure, no one really cares about the SECOND highest year-round waterfall in the United States. I get no respect."
Ryan has taken several of his naps this weekend in the car... and one at Deschutes Brewery. The second (and third, and fourth, etc...) children never get to stay on their schedule.
We also "hiked" part of Henry Hagg Lake to see our friends, Sarah and Melissa, win their catagories in the duathalon! Awesome.
Kyle was fascinated with their medals! In this photo he is pretending he is tired after just completing the duathalon himself.
I don't know who is walking who here. I think Kona doesn't care - she is just happy to be out and about with the family and not holding down the couch at home.
Kyle and Ryan: "This is our kind of hiking." Doug: "I think I'll be scheduling that second hernia surgery any day now."
