Multnomah Falls....to the TOP we go!

*Why won't it let me type above my first photo anymore??

We decided very last minute on Tuesday to go for a hike. As we were driving..oh and I should mention ... we were driving to what SHOULD have been a very easy hike since I was going to have to carry 35lbs on my back (which is..do the math, a third of my body weight)..we realized we have NEVER (in 4yrs) hiked to the top of Multnomah falls.
So, we stopped.

I got Erika on my back....then we switched carriers b/c it was hurting my hips, then tried to carry meg instead...then switched back...etc etc...I was driving Steve nuts, I'm sure.

Anyway...I eventually realized no matter WHAT Carrier, or WHAT child I was carrying...this was not going to be easy. The hike is 620Ft over one mile...pretty much straight up!;)......
It was a good work out to say the LEAST! I felt like my legs were on fire. but for some reason I like that feeling, haha! So off we went,

This is the only picture of us on our way up

Steve and the girls at the top. Erika is pointing b/c I was trying to get her to look at me so I said "Erika, where's the camera?!"...and this is what she did, haha, what a ham!

Our little family. I love my family!

This is Erika's "Cheese" face she does for photos.
Ironically she NEVER looks at the camera when she says it!

620ft straight down. Makes me dizzy just looking at it!

This looks easier than it is! lol

Stevie and I trying to get pics of the falls behind us

There we go! it took about 8 pictures to get this right.

On the way back down, the Moosh fell asleep on my back...which pushed my head foreward..that wasn't too comfy:)

Steve and I laughed that this is probably the first time in history that a Wagner baby has fallen asleep ANY where other than their crib or bed!!
