The Me's waterfall adventure!

Bri and Stefen got a new camera! They decided to take us out and go see some waterfalls. Here is our story of all the fun we had!

We asked Bri if we could not be seat belted. We wanted to be able to move about the cabin area. She said we had to least sit. So this is where we found fitting to sit!

We had to hike a little to the waterfall, because our legs are so short we had to rest a lot.

He we all are in front of the waterfall.

We decided to have some time to ourselves so we could contemplate our life with Bri and Stefen.

We went to the top of the waterfall. Bri really wanted to jump in, but she had a hurt toe so we did it for her! It was AWESOME!

Here we are so excited that we just made the jump of a lifetime!

Stefen took us on a little hike with his and we had to chill for a minute while he took pictures of the water.

While Stefen was hiking Bri chilled by this little pool. We decided that it would be fun to walk across the log. But in the end we didnt do it.

Bri and Stefen found this cool natural lake that towards the end of summer, it goes away. And in the spring in fills up. 

After all day we were famished! Bri and Stefen decided on Pizza!

YUM!!!

After the pizza Bri and Stefen found a fish hatchery that had a lake attached to it. We decided to get some rays.

All and all we had a fun day! 

Meet The Me's

We decided to start something called The Me's.

It is really hard to take pictures of the two of us when its just the two of us. So we are bringing the Me's on adventures with us and they will get there story told as well as ours! What do you think!?

We were trying to get into the truck to go home and we just couldnt get the door open!

But then Bri decided we should sit and hold hands.

Bri and Stefen Kept telling us about all these statues they saw. But this was the only statue we could find. 

Bri and Stefen decided to go on a walk by the river, but we had to keep jumping these big horse things.

There was a carnival going on but Bri and Stefen werent dressed for a carnival , so this was the only was we could ride.

Bri wanted to get wet so she took us with her.

Stefen didnt want to get went but he almost did!

The Grotto Part Three

Once we rode the scariest elevator ever we got to see some super cool statues. I am only going to post a few because there are LOTS!

A tree is taller than Stefen!!!

Old Road!!!

The Labyrinth! I walked and walked this thing! It made me very dizzy! But it was fun!

Old Stairs!

Sometimes they have church in front of this!

The Grotto was a fun place to visit and I would recommend it to anyone!

The Grotto Part Two

So at The Grotto there are two levels. You have to get a token that costs 4 dollars to ride an elevator to the top of a cliff. It was THE scariest elevator I have ever seen. And the noises it made was even worse. It made so much noise that they had an elevator voice talk to you! 

We had to get away up there!

The Elevator! Scary aint it?

This was right above the doors to the Elevator. Because some chain link is really going to protect you from the elevator crashing down....

The inside of the Elevator that looked much nicer than the outside.

The view from the top!

The Grotto Part One

We went into Portland back in May and after a day a hitting some stores we dont have here and going to the Temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We decided to go see The Grotto. 

Its a catholic peace and botanical gardens. It had a super cute church on the property as well as THE scariest elevator ALIVE! I am going to have to do this is parts. Otherwise this will go on for pages and pages.

Welcoming you into the Church.

The main view of the church.

One side.

The other side.

And the stained glass.

I seriously love to look into other churches they are all so different and some are so exquisite. This one was beautiful!

Adventure at the Coast!

So my birthday is this weekend. Boo to getting old! We have a jam packed day tomorrow so we were just going to do a movie. However small miracles happen and Stefen didnt have to work today. So we decided to go fly a kite on the beach. We took Hulk with us and he had a great time. We went to Costco, and Petsmart before we headed out of town. While we were waiting for Costco to open Hulk got to climb his first tree! Unfortunately we didnt take pictures. We also went to a Casino to have lunch. Stefen also let me gamble 1 dollar as he did a while back. I initially won 1.89 but lost it down to .15 cents. It prints this cute ticket for you and I decided it was to cute and not worth it to get my .15 cents. Then we headed to find a beach. The first one was too crowded. The second one was sand dunes. While we were looking for the third we came across the Sea Lion Cave. 

There was a lighthouse right by it. Neither one of Us had seen a lighthouse before so it was awesome.

These sea lions were right below the road just chilling.

 So when you get there you go into this gift shop buy your tickets and walk down to the elevator. The elevator takes you 200 feet down to sea level and you see this...

Isnt it so cool!! Today they said there was about 250 sea lions and they were LOUD! It was awesome to see them swimming around.

They were everywhere. Most were sleeping. This is the largest sea lion cave in the work. It was discovered in 1894. And I really wonder how the guy found it. 

The big rock in the middle was a very popular rock. Some were fighting over it.

These are some of the first bones found and they were really high up! Once you saw what this guy had to climb it was obvious why he died. 

On the other end of the cave was this view! You cant see it but there were a ton of birds!

It was super cold down there! I had to remind stefen we were under ground!

This is the most photographed light house in the world. 

There was suppose to be a statue in this photo. Obviously our goal was not achieved!

 After several hours we finally found a beach that would work for us. So we packed up our towels. blanket, kite, and the cat and found a perfect spot.

Stefen flying the kite. Can I please just insert that it was way too easy to get the kite in the air! I'm not joking. It took no running, no throwing, and no multiple attempts. One try, let all the string up, and TA DA!

We have a flying kit!

Clear up there!

My turn!

Hulk was not so sure of the sand!

Har har!

This is how Hulk flew the kite! Hiding!

CUTE!

Once we got back to the blanket this is how hulk enjoyed the blanket. In his kennel with the worst made blanket in the world!

So pretty!

 So this is where we get to the story of the day. So we walked out to the water a bit where the sand was moist but the water wasnt up there. We put Hulk down so he could feel it and let me tell you folks my cat is a germaphobe! He HATES being dirty. So I thought we would be nice and dip his feet in the water. We got to a spot where we had seen the water come up and touch. We waited there for a couple minutes and nothing was coming. So we decided to walk out a little farther. We folks we learned that water moves and changes its level and intensity constantly. I had hulk and was not ably to run. Stefen was able to run away. The water got up to Hulks neck, my knees, and Stefens ankles. Hulk did so good he sat there till the water went down and then I bent down and he hopped on my shoulders. He didnt cry the whole time! I felt so bad. We packed up and went back to the car. We got Hulk cleaned and settled then worked on us. I unfortunately had to loose my pants for the mere fact of all the sand and I was cold (I did cover in a towel! Dont worry! We arent going R rated on you). Stefen had to loose his shoes. Luckily because of some issues with my toe I had my man flip flops on and Stefen squoze into them. We were a pair! 

Hulks new ride!

Cheese!

Stefens feet. 

On the way home in Newport! Stefen liked the ship!

If you dont know it I have a HORRIBLE fear of bridges. We dont need to get into it but we needed to cross this one and it was LONG and I was freaking out! 

Some cool water front homes.

This is how Hulk ended the day. He had a very fun day! And so did we!
