Bend Vacation - Watefall Fun

Not too far outside of Bend is a really pretty waterfall.  The only thing I didn't like about it is it like 12 miles off the main road all up a really curvy mountain road which really made me car sick...but besides that it was super great.
We all got out to see the waterfall.  We were able to walk to the top of the waterfall pretty easy and they had a good path and railing to keep us safe.  I loved that.

Then to go down to the bottom of the waterfall you had to take a less manicured path that had some pretty good drops.  My mama fears started coming out and I was worried about all the dangers around us and worried way too much about one of us sliding off the edge of the trail.

Josh and I went about half way down the path and looked out on a pretty part of the water fall.  Matt was not happy about going down the path and started freaking out a little bit.  Amy said that she'd take Matt back up the mountain and when Josh heard that he told me that he wanted to go back up too.  I didn't mind taking Josh back up so that I could put my fears to rest.  I knew the girls were in Tony's good hands and so was Tyler.

So Amy and I went back up with Josh, Matt, and Cora.  We let the kids hang out a little bit while we waited for the others to come back up.  Matt did not like all the bugs in the mountains and was having a hard time so we moved closer to the cars and waited there.
The others came back up from seeing the waterfall and said it was pretty awesome and nice and cool.  Megan really had to go to the potty as soon as they got up so it was a good thing their was a port-a-potty right by our cars.  After a quick pit stop we all got back in our cars and drove back down the crazy curvy roads and headed towards lunch.  We were hungry!

We got lunch from Dairy Queen.  While in Oregon you have to eat there at least once.  It was pretty good and we all got ice cream with our meal.  Allie had fallen asleep in the car so Tony hung out with her there and we brought him his food.  After getting all full we loaded back into the cars and headed towards Crater Lake.
