On our way...
Oregon (part two of two!)
Growing up, we always stopped at these huge waterfalls on our way home from Salem. Driving to Grandma's house I told Ella to watch for the waterfall and she saw the little ones, but missed this one. So true to tradition, we stopped too.
Of course James called it a choo-choo!
Note: Until we got home from this trip, I honestly thought the falls were pronounced Mult-na-mul-mah Falls! Instead it is Multnomah Falls...I was close :) All my Oregon family members are shaking their heads in shame, I am sure of it.
Bob climbed up the hill with the kids to the look out bridge, while I took pictures from down below. They are on the far right of the bridge.
Ella decided she needed to rest after such a long walk.
See, I really was there too :)
Back on the road, this is the face we saw and heard for hours! I even volunteered to drive so i didn't have to sit directly in front of him...and of course he slept the whole time! Go figure.
Ella (hiding from the camera) created a game where you hide under the blanket and then peek. Ella calls it: Peek-y Hide-y
In Baker City, Ella and James rode Rainey without anyone else. Ok, here it comes: what you all really want to see, right? I know some of you have been begging for these pictures. As James would say: Ta-Da!
Ella fed the fish with Grandma while James tried to make friends with them a different way.
And what better way spend a cold morning then cuddled on Grandma's lap watching cartoons. (The good old-school Tom and Jerry variety) Even Grandpa can stay awake for these.
After 7 more long screaming, laughing, peeky-hidey, stop in Pocatello at Golden Corral for Ella's birthday, drive home stuffed...we made it home, at last!
Thanks to all who put us up and put up with us!
