A little over a week ago, my parents came up for a weekend visit. We had one full day with them and our mission was to do our best to wear the old folks out. We started the day at the Bonneville Dam and then stopped off at Multnomah Falls to get rid of any trace of energy.
When we pulled into the parking lot, we noticed that the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was there and had to get a picture next to the great American icon.
"Don't worry, Elijah. All of the chemicals in real hot dogs won't get you
when you are next to a hot dog car."
Once all the photos were taken, we were off to the falls with Beniah in the lead.
"It's so tall!"
Then came the hike up the hill.
Over a creek.
Finally, at the bridge in front of the falls.
Beniah wanted to go to the top of the falls, so Grandpa started walking with him. They got to the first bend in the trail and Beniah was done.
Elijah was in awe of the falls (or just desperately trying not to fall asleep).
One by one, the passengers in the van succumbed to sleep on the thirty minute drive home.
Mission accomplished!
