Multnomah Falls

We went to Multnomah Falls last weekend. It was so beautiful! It is actually the area used to film some of the parts of the first Twilight movie. We love Oregon, it has so many great outdoor activities!

The boys are ready!

The Fall.

We start out pushing the stroller up.

But even Chad and his mad muscles can only push it up for so long.

The boys were thrilled when they got to try their hand at hoofing it.

It is much slower climbing when you have to carry chubby boys up or let them walk. But it was very enjoyable that pace.

We finally made it to the top. About 1.25 miles up.We were able to play in the creek at the top.

What is Chad reflecting on?

Loved it!!

Until he fell.

And 30 second later.... he loved it again!

Kes is getting much braver these days- he went exploring.

Oh ya! King of the Mountain!

Going back down in style.

Adventuring is tiring, he slept the whole way down.

Pure Awesomeness!

How did he get So BIG???

Cal is entertained with some plastic silverware while Kes opens presents.

Chad loves Keston's Optimus Prime from Rue Rue.

Lunch at Chuck E. Cheese- Keston didn't want to go anywhere else, he wasn't as sure about the actual Chuck E though.

What are the odds? A monster truck ride?

Cal is driving it, Keston was a little nervous to.

Gotta love Skee Ball.

Calon cheers when he puts it in the hole.

Kes and Bob!

My attempt at a Monster Jam cake.

He approved...of the El Toro Loco on it!

Berry Much Fun!

We went to Smith's Berry Barn to pick our own berries on Wednesday. It was such a great thing to do!

Calon loved roaming free.

Keston loved picking the berries.

The boys loved running around and trying to feed the chickens that were there.

Calon ate so many berries- he even started trying to pick them himself if we didn't hand them over fast enough.

Chad picked the most- by far! He is a berry good picker!

We got blackberries, raspberries and a few golden raspberries- about a pound and a half.

I made them into a crumble berry pie the next morning.It turned out so tasty!
