The Waterfalls


Well we pulled the trigger and made the move. Our dads came out to help us and we drove from Springdale, UT to Blue River, OR. It went fairly smoothly with a stop over in Idaho and in Burns, OR. We had a really enjoyable time as far as moves go. We moved into our new rental house and had most of our stuff unpacked within a few days. We were enjoying our big yard with our sweeping views. It was pretty hot and dry in Oregon at this point and we lacked any air conditioning. After a bunch of days of unloading furniture and boxes, we decided to take Tom out to check out the waterfalls. I could tell that this was now going to be the default place to take visitors when they came to visit us. Koosah Falls and Sahalie Falls towered down from the cliffs above and while there was a drought that were causing fires very close to our area, these waterfalls still packed a powerful punch.
 This was a good place because everyone in the family could enjoy it. We walked in between the two making sure to keep a good hold of Zyla's hand as one quick swim in the river meant she was going over the falls. It was a short hike but in the next couple of weeks, there would be time for a few more journeys before school was set to start.
