Multnomah Falls Excursion




Last weekend, we decided to take a trip up to Multnomah Falls since we had never been. We were really excited to see all of the amazing fall trees and foliage.  Our journey was uneventful, thankfully. Carson was wonderful and once we arrived he was very excited to get out of the car and roam all over.  Mason and I did not expect Carson to enjoy this trip and didn't care if he did; we were here because WE wanted to be here.  Therefore, we were pleasantly surprised when we approach the falls (just at the ground level) to see Carson become overjoyed by the sight of the massive amounts of water that fell into what appeared to him as a giant bath.  Now motivated to make this trip enjoyable for the entire family we set off on the hike (which is only about 1 mile but it is up hill the entire time).  The view was magnificent and we picked the most perfect day to go (beautiful colors, crisp weather, and no rain).  Carson was loving every minute.  On the way up, I carried Carson in our sling/wrap...and I was definitely feeling all of his 20+ pounds by the top....but on the way down Mason carried him and by the end he had nestled up close to Daddy and fell asleep. Ahhh, so cute.
