Silver Falls

On Saturday before the 4th of July, we took my parents out to Silver Falls State Park to show them a couple of the waterfalls.

Who needs a waterfall, when the drinking fountain before we even get to the trail is so fun?

I just love how green it is here.

Before we finished North Falls Emmett was screaming, being long since done and exhausted, so we skipped Upper North Falls and headed home.

I always love visiting Silver Falls and was so happy to show it to my parents.
