Multnomah Falls

We wanted to do something fun on Monday, thought about the zoo but it was really wet and rainy outside. Hoping that it wouldn't be so wet, we headed to Multnomah Falls. Last time we were there it was 2004. Before heading up to the falls we stopped at the visitor center, lucky us they had loaner umbrellas (they should be called lifesaver umbrellas). We grab some and headed out and up.

Kelsie, Jaron, Kallie, Karlee (hidden behind Kallie) and I at the bottom of the falls, just mist here. nothing compared to what is to come.
Walking to the big bridge (mom, Kelsie, Alycia, Kallie, Cody, Lulu, and Jaron leading the pack. Kids enjoying the umbrellas.
Oregon's version of Niagara Falls. The water flow was so heavy that you were just getting drenched with the mist that was going on. That is Cody, Lulu, and Alycia down by the mist.
We were standing up on the concert bridge, the mist was so heavy that the kids didn't really want to stand very long for the picture. Jaron is behind Kelsie's umbrella (quick family shot, so we didn't get it perfect.) But Kelsie's face is priceless.
Here we are heading back down the trail. Jaron was very excited to have a umbrella and be dancing in the wetness. It was like he was auditioning for "Singing In The Rain". We were wet after the little trip but we had a lot of fun.
