Sunday morning, Mom said "what would you all like to do today." I replied "Perler beads," since I love creating with perler beads and I am midway through creating a train. Amelia replied "Breakfast and anything with Phiny." Dad said, "Waterfalls?"
So here's what we did Sunday: Ate breakfast (all four of us). Played perler beads for a little (with Amelia). Drove south for 1+ hours (also with Amelia). Hiked and saw waterfalls (still with Amelia). Played with our neighbors (Amelia was there too). Dinner (with Amelia) + Shower (Amelia & I took turns) + Bedtime (each in our own beds).
Waterfalls in the winter always seems unusual, because water in the mountains usually freezes in the winter. But, this fall/winter we have receive a lot of rain (Dad calls it a deluge) and very little snow in the mountains. So, all of these factors + a reprieve from the rain = a great day for a waterfall hike.

| A long hike later... at the bottom of the falls. Unfortunately, they closed the path that leads behind the waterfall (yup, you can walk behind that 177 foot waterfall, so cool). |

| After an exhausting hike, we are recuperating with cookies and hot chocolate |
 |
| Only in Oregon, does Santa hang out at State Parks, instead of the Mall! |
 |
| On the way back, we stopped at an Alpaca farm. I got an alpaca kiss! |
Additionally, you can check out the video of Dad and Amelia hiking.

Peace Out,
