This summer we have been looking forward with anticipation to our trip to the Oregon Coast with the Jensen's. Looking forward to the 8-10 hr drive to the coast? not so much. But we did make some fun stops along the way. The first 3 pics are from the back door of our hotel room in Cascade Locks, Oregon. Not too shabby. 
We headed to Multnomah Falls which are just outside Portland. Beautiful. The bridges that would never be considered 'child safe' were another matter. Thankfully none of the kids tried to fit through the gaping holes in the bridge because- stomach turning- they would have easily slipped through. Ugh. 
We met up with the Pugmire clan (Nathan's sister Tara's fam) at the falls and headed up the trail together. We ended up walking clear up a trail thinking there was a better vantage point of the falls but alas, it was just a hiking trail. Gorgeous scenery though.
As we headed back to the parking lot we crossed under this train bridge and as we did a train came blaring through, mere feet away. It BLEW Kohen's mind as you can see in the picture below, he was absolutely giddy as the long train took several minutes to speed by. His excitement did not wain a bit as it passed. Kennedy? if you can spot her in her neon green jacket covering her ears- not such a big fan. Like the 4th of July fireworks, the train was just too loud to be enjoyed. And my dear Aly had been throwing a bit of a tantrum when the train blazed through, it was hilarious to watch her realize she'd been completely upstaged.
Lovin this family pic below, Kohen has taken to all sorts of poses lately when the camera is brought out- he's actually got some skills so I can't complain. Anyway, Multnomah Falls was a fun way to kick off our trip to the coast.

What a beautiful place! I also love the family picture. Kohen, what a little model in the making and . . . did you get your hair cut? I like it!
Oh my goodness, you guys are close to us! Are you still in town? We spent the week following the Fourth of July in Lincoln City and absolutely loved it-- we are just about two hours away from Lincoln City. If you are still around, let me know-- we'll drive out to meet up with you! By the way, thanks for the warning about Multnomah Falls-- we've wanted to take a day trip out there-- now I'll be an informed tourist!
Wow, that's really pretty. I want to go there. So many places to see our beautiful country. Love you pics and your family too :)
I love that area! Unfortunately our pictures from our trip to those falls (can't spell it) were lost :(
But makes for a good reason to go back, right?
I love the differences between kids, Kohen's glee and Kennedy's annoyance. Just gotta say, you are one of the prettiest 7-month pregnant people I've ever seen.
