Saturday Day Date!

Brent and I realized since we have been in Oregon we really haven't spent much time together alone! So Brent planned a fun day date for us! Before we got to the date though I woke up early and cleaned the cars we have at the house! It took nearly and hour because of all the little tree things that stuck to the roof and hood of the car! Then I went to the gym and did a half session.
When I got home Brent had already packed our lunch and we were on our way! We drove up the Gorge and went on three hikes... they were super short. We estimated that we walked about a mile and a half total!
Here is the first trail that we went to Latourell Falls!
This was the most crowded of all three falls! we barely had any room to get pictures. It was the most crowded it did have the most cool places to walk around and get pictures!

Brent really enjoyed framing things with tree branches!
Here is us by the bridge that lead over the falls!
This is from the road! Look at how massive that is!
The second Falls was Shepherds Dell. We almost missed the trail because the stairs we hidden next to the highway. We thought the trail was originally to Brent's left but it turned out to be to the right behind the big rock!
This is on the way down. Since it is a Scenic Highway there we cool bridges everywhere! Brent wanted to get a lot more pictures but this was the best view we had everyday!

This took three different tries! But I think Brent looks really good in this one, I just wish he were lighter!
There was no one here when we got to this small falls! This looks really little but there are three more drops farther down, we just couldn't get down there to get some better pictures! I like that my shirt looks like a mu mu!
Here is the little part again!
This is the final falls, and the longest! Why are so many Water falls called Bridal Veil!

At the top there was a banister and so I had to make our mark! "B's" are really hard!
How Pretty right? I think the Bridal Veil in Utah is actually a little prettier but this one is surrounded but a lot more green so It was fun!

plus there was a another Little Mermaid Rock! Yeah!
Overall it was a REALLY REALLY fun day with Brent!
It has been a long time since I have felt to accomplished! Brent and I had a great time exploring the different trails and finding new ways to break the barriers of the trails!
