Anyway...on Saturday after the boys soccer games, we decided on an impromptu trip down to Silver Falls State Park to see some awesome waterfalls. The weather was perfect and it had been raining A LOT, so we knew the falls would be very full!
a quick hike to Upper North Falls
we climbed along the rock right up to the base of the falls, and there WAS a lot of water! It was spraying mist all over the place.
Joshua proclaimed it was even more awesome than POPTROPICA!
(which he only gets to play on Saturdays...and our trip was postponing the playing of).
Score 1 for nature!
a beautiful green world
(my favorite glowing spring green of new leaves)
some wildflower discoveries
(I caught the sun shinning through that pink one just right)
Hike down to Lower North Falls
I love the waterfalls that you can hike behind...
and take a seat on a bench to just watch the water flow...
more of the beautiful spring green with the light shinning through JUST right
then Brent showed Joshua that the rock under the waterfall is the kind you can break with your hands
(some kind of sedimentary rock)
One more falls shot...
Before we hike up these:
...and leave all wet and muddy and full of wonder.
