"Going on a bear hunt
Going to catch a big one
What a beautiful day
We're not scared"
Oh look a waterfall, We can't go over it
We can't go under it
We'll have to go through it
Ok so maybe not quite a bear hunt, but we did have a fun adventure out in the gorge. For Michaels birthday he wanted to go for a hike with two of our close family friends, the Leighs and the Huffmans. We did not see any bears, but saw some beautiful waterfalls and green foliage.
This is the first main waterfall we came across. On this trail you can see about 12 waterfalls if you hike the whole way to tunnel falls which is about 12 miles. So yes pretty amazing for sure.
Maia also enjoyed the hike. She just loved being outside. Mostly she just kicks her feet and flaps her arms with utter excitement, and then she gets exhausted and falls asleep in the Ergo. However, this time she gets to be with daddy and that is exciting as well!
This is Punch Bowl falls. Can you see why it's called that?? We have heard that people kayak down this falls. Pretty amazing if they do!
At this falls it was time for snacks!! Naomi and her delicious sandwich!
Maia and Eben are having fun becoming friends. 
This is a view of Maia in the Ergo. I want to have a picture of this angle before she begins to ride on my back. This is an image I want to remember!
More beautiful water. This trail is called Eagle Creek trail. At the 12 mile mark it hits the PCT. Maybe one day we will make it that far!
Just around the bend was this waterfall. Just a beautiful view to look at.
This is a view from High Bridge looking down the stream. The water flows in between these huge rock crevices and this picture does not do justice to how amazing it was.
I did not make it to this part since I had a little one to feed, but Michael and a few others went on to this part of the creek and the following waterfall.
This is part of the trail that was pretty crazy. It's just on a cliff edge with a cable fastened into the rock for us to hold on to if need be. So yes kinda scary with kiddos, but we made it. It's pretty incredible how high above the river we are.
Well that ends our adventure. Yea for Michael's birthday and great friends to celebrate with!

Wow! Beautiful place. Happy Birthday, Michael! Maia, you sure do look cute in hats. I like that one you were wearing.
Wow, what a beautiful place! Your pictures do it more justice than your words did, and it's certainly amazing!
Hey! What're you tryin' to say about my wife's words!?! Them's fightin' words! -Michael
Absolutely beautiful! I would love to see it someday!
No, it was YOUR words I was talking about Michael, when you told me about it on the phone. I was not meaning to comment about the writing on the post, just that you told me about it, but it's more beautiful to see it. Sorry Jeanette, I was trying to compliment your pictures, but I guess it wasn't very clear. Oops!
