Silver Falls Hike

 Pictures in this block are all of Double Falls

Emma's good friend Isabelle got dropped off at our house for a week.  The very first thing we did was head to Silver Falls State Park for a loop hike that covers most of the waterfalls.

I'd only been there a couple times before and that was on a drippy, early-spring day and I had the park mostly to myself.  But this time it was a hot, mid-summer weekend and the place was packed.  It was more or less a constant string of people.  But it wasn't a terrible experience.  Honestly, the humidity and heat was more annoying.

The kids collapsed a mile from the end of the hike (back to the car) and I had to go on ahead, get the car, and drive back to them.

At the end of the day, instead of making dinner, I took the kids out to Beehive Station for foodcart dinner which was a blast.  Isabelle had her very first bubble tea!  I think she liked it at first, but then the novelty wore off and she didn't finish it.
