Hiking Multnomah Falls

We went hiking with Roy'l's family at Multnomah Falls. Of course we didn't hike very high with the young kids, but it was still so beautiful to be there. The kids seemed to have the most fun eating ice cream and playing in the creek at the bottom. Roy'l and I went under the train bridge while a train was crossing and it was so exciting and scary! I have never experience something like that before. 

Going to the Carnival

Cavan was out of town for work, so I decided to take the kids to the coast to go visit my family. We had an amazing visit! I first took the kids to the beach. It was very windy and cold so we didn't stay very long, but it's always nice to go to the beach even if its for a short while. We then went to go visit my sweet adorable Grandma Dorothy. She took us out to lunch, then we headed back to her house where she showed me photos of our family. She told me all sorts of stories and I learned so many things about my family I didn't know. I just love learning about my heritage and where I came from. I will always cherish that afternoon with her. The next day we went to the carnival where my amazing talented little sister Abby was in the fair showing her pig and her horse. She won Grand Champion for her pig and she also won for her horse. Not even to mention all the other awards she won! I am so proud of her. The kids had a blast at the carnival. They got to see a lot of animals, eat junk, ride a tractor and go on the ferris wheel. We sure had fun that weekend!

Splash pad

We went to a splash pad in Vancouver that we never have been before. It was called Esther Short Park. We went with Roy'l when she was still in town. My good friend Devanie and her adorable children came too. We had a real fun afternoon!
