Vaction Wonderfulness Continued

Day 5: 
On the Road--Eugene, OR to Cottonwood, ID
508 Miles

Our first "stretch your legs" break was at Multnomah Falls in Northern Oregon. Noah absolutely loved it!  He kept calling it "big, big water" and was very sad to leave.  On our stop we saw that there was a trail to the top that was about a mile long, so we promised Noah we'd stop and hike it on our way back home.

The train was exciting until he saw the falls!

Back to sleep


Second stop was in Pomeroy, WA where Noah had a blast playing in the rocks.

Grandma's cane alternated between being a guitar and a vacuum.

Where's Noah?

I sure hope those poles aren't supposed to be structural...




Bubble fun with Daddy




I guess that didn't smell so good...



An evening stroll around the grounds




What do you mean this is our last night here?!


Bye bye Grandma!  We had a blast!

Ok, that's all for now, but there is still more to come!
