Adventures in waterfalling

  The beauty here never ceases to surprise me.  All we needed was the promise of some sunshine to throw our hiking boots in the new station wagon and head east on I-84.  We passed our first waterfall in five minutes of hitting the trail.  Ava found the icicles of her dreams and Ian recited the entire Going On A Bear Hunt book from memory.  Today was a good day.

If it was eighty degrees warmer I would have jumped right in
