This morning we headed west along the Columbia River. Our first stop was the Multnomah Falls. There was a short walk to the base of the falls and then another short walk to the viewing bridge. We headed up for a closer look. After taking a few pictures we asked Kenzie if she wanted to hike to the top. It was a one mile hike up a paved trail with a series of switchbacks, 11 to be exact. Well she wanted to go for it so up we went. I had Emme in the ergo and Finn gladly rode on Jim's shoulders. Our cheer became "You can do it", in a somewhat Arnold accent. We made it to the top in about an hour and I heard no complaining. I was so impressed with Kenzie, what an accomplishment. We have a little hiker in our family! Once at the top we stood on the viewing platform that hangs just above the falls. It was a beautiful view the falls and the Columbia River below. We made it back to the bottom in no time at all and then headed down the road for a picnic lunch. Then it was time for the long drive to Spokane. Luckily everyone was tired so there was lots of napping this afternoon.
