Snoqualmie Falls

  Yesterday we went to Snoqualmie Falls.  After several years of work they have finally opened the trail down to Snoqualmie Falls, so I wanted to go visit them again.  My parents also joined us.  The trail is much nicer now.  Emery's little umbrella stroller easily made it the whole way down.  It's a little disappointing though because they made this really nice wooden walkway to view the falls, but the viewing deck right nearest the falls is extremely small.  It was very crowded and we didn't stick around even for a minute.  They also didn't have a way down to the rocks, but that wasn't stopping people.  They were climbing over the deck and down there themselves.  It seemed like a really poor design.  

  What was nice is now there is a smaller parking lot at the bottom of the trail, so instead of everyone hiking back to the top Daryl and I just went.  We got our car and drove down to pick up the girls and my parents.  Avery loved going down the trail, and I'm pretty sure she would have ran all the way down if we would have let her. Harper insisted on being carried most of the way, and Emery could have hiked all day in her stroller.

Snoqualmie Falls running a little heavy.  You could feel the spray.

As good a family picture we could get with only the top of Emery's head in it.
