On President's Day we decided to hike Multnomah Falls:
1.1 miles of switchback to the top.
Can these tough guys make it to the top?
Stopping to pose in the "cave" along the way:
1/2 way there!
We made it!
From the top, the view of the "glass-like" Columbia River was amazing! Can you see the little cars in the parking lot down below?
David liked this little waterfall we saw on the way down:
We then deserved a stop at Wendy's. David is demonstrating how to dip a french fry into a Frosty:
YUM!
3 days later we finally got snow! School was cancelled and Nicholas and Zach enjoyed it while it lasted:
Nicholas and Zach playing in the snow with their friend, Noah:
Brooke preferred to stay inside with her cousin, Ashlyn.
They cut out hearts, colored, played Polly Pockets, and did each other's hair:

On Feb. 26, I took Zach (age 7 1/2) to his first karate promotion in Troutdale. Here he is demonstrating his punches, kicks, blocks, and 2 katas in hopes of earning his orange belt:
He did it! Zach and his newly acquired certificate and orange belt:
Good job, Zach!
Along the way we were intrigued by some amazing half-frozen waterfalls:
The icicles on the sides of the waterfalls were fascinating!
