Saturday was a day of cold and sloppy rain, so naturally we decided to tour a few Columbia Gorge waterfalls. This photo is at Latourell Falls. If you click the link, you'll see better photos than this one. This picture was only taken to prove we were there. Incidentally (nerd alert) Latourell Falls is a great spot to see columnar basalt!
That brings me to my first kid quotes.
J: "I want to go home!"
R: "I'm hungry. When's lunch?"
Our other quotes are not related to the waterfall outing. I jotted them down throughout the winter.
J: "I am a winning team."
R (to Spouse): "Mom doesn't seem very relaxed today."
J: "Mom, if you ever see a gingerbread man running, and he says, 'Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man,' I'm the fastest one to catch him."
J: "WHO TRACKED MUD IN HERE?"
Spouse: "I wish you felt as good as I look."

So, the one quote implies that you normally DO seem relaxed at least...
Nothing like a day in the gorge, rain or shine! Hope it wasn't windy too! I think the most amazing sight I have seen was when we had that really cold winter a few years ago and we saw the waterfalls frozen over. Do you guys top off your trip with one of those big ice cream cones at East Wind Drive In in Cascade Locks? That is one of our traditions. Looked like fun. Love the cute quotes! I need to start writing down the funny things my kids say. Usually what happens is that Lauren does some strange and hilarious things that I vow to write in the baby book and then I forget to do it.
Ah, yes, rainy Saturdays in the Pac NW - life doesn't stop for them! We took a 5.5 mi hike to Wallace Falls that same day :)

Love latourell falls, it's been a while since I've been there. I had totally forgotten about columnar basalt, I'm a very bad nerd apparently, at least when I comes to Geology. Love the kid (and spouse!) quotes! Especially the "I am a winning team" one. I'm going to steal that one, say it every time I make dinner or whatever, from here on out.
