Silver Falls Hike

 We fit in one more hike while Grammie was visiting in June.  Although it might be a stretch to call this a 'hike' since we only walked the South Falls loop at Silver Falls.  Regardless, Allison walked the whole way, down and UP by herself.  We bribed her.  A lot.  With granola bars (she's munching on one in the picture below).  She asked to be picked up several times on the way up.  We would just tell her no.  At which point she would take off on a dead run and get ahead of us a bit and then wait for us to catch up.  Pretty sure she had way more energy than the rest of us we just need to work on the motivation.


We wrapped up by eating sandwiches for lunch at the cafe in the lodge at the top (it is becoming a bit of a tradition for us - I'm not the best at packing lunches) and then stopping in Stayton at an old-school A&W Rootbeer where we ordered ice cream treats through a phone from our booth.  Allison was rather fascinated with the phone!
