Multnomah Falls

While we were visiting Wes's parents, we were able to go to Multnomah Falls. It's a beautiful waterfall(or 2?) in Oregon. As most of you know, Washington and Oregon had just recently gotten record amounts of snow, etc, and the views were just spectacular. Here is the view across from the falls: A photo that does not do the falls justice. My lens kept fogging up and getting misty because we were so close to the falls and it was soo cold outside. Truly stunning, nonetheless.
I honestly didn't realize that I was afraid of heights until Wes was carrying Liam on his shoulders and we were on that bridge up top. I was very nervous, especially when Ben leaned back to take a few photos. Luckily, we all survived!Us on the upper bridge. It was really hard to get a good shot.
The trek up to the bridge across the two falls was packed snow and slush that was very, very slick. It took us a while to get safely up there--note to self, Uggs are comfy and cute, but not practical for anything slippery. ZERO traction.
Down was worse than up. Some people were just sliding down!
One of my new favorite photos.
Liam decided he was going to ham it up, so I got quite a cute pictures of my boy-- let's face it though, what picture of my child is not cute?
