Silver Falls Camping Trip

We took a mid-week camping expedition to a beautiful state park called Silver Falls. We reserved one of their small cabins (the main reason why we took a mid-week trip and for only one night...the cabins are booked months in advance and this is all we could get!). We were lucky that our friend Nicole and Jonah were also able to get a cabin the same day!

One of the best parts about this camping trip was the wagons the park provided to transport your 'special cargo' to the cabins...or around and around in circles and down all the trails!

The guys were ready with their sleeping bags and little lanterns. They ended up reading EVERY book we brought several times and playing until very late...but finally did fall asleep.

This park has many beautiful trails, waterfalls, and bridges. Here we are all watching where the river drops off the cliff forming the largest...

...waterfall in the park. Notice the trail down below that goes behind the waterfall.



The boys all wanted to go down to the waterfall, so we hiked down to check it out.

They liked playing in the caves behind the waterfall. Dylan said that he was so tall because he could reach the ceiling.

Then we had to get back up to the top!!


Even though we had two backpacks for carrying children AND a double stroller, Dylan, Cole and Jonah wanted to walk and help us get back to the cabin.
