Waterfall, Fish Hatchery, and Dam Out West \\ PHOTOS + new stuff in life

Happy Saturday to you allll! I hope you are having a great weekend, enjoying the full comforts of your pillow and not having to set an alarm. ;P Yep. So I recently got a job, and getting up in the morning is the hardest part (it's a great job, see). A job, guyssss. Finally finally finally. No more having to tell people I don't have an official job yet. That is a nice thing, y'all. ;P I'm happy. The little introvert me managed. Actually, I didn't do all that much. I applied there awhile ago, and one day they called. And the day I went in for my interview (I didn't even really get interviewed), they hired me. I was freaking out on the way home. With excitement. xD 

I think it was just God or something. *smiles*

SOO. After that little update on the biggest new change in my life, I'm going to actually get to the feature presentation of this post. What the title says this post is supposed to be about. *winks and sticks out tongue*

Oh, and I guess you all might be curious where I'm working... which is at the YMCA, in child care. :) I just completed my first week, so hopefully they keep me for a long time. :P

OKAY, AS I WAS SAYING. This is the next picture post about my recent trip out West. My whole immediate family (besides my dad, bc he wasn't out there yet) went out "exploring" one day. We went to Multnomah Falls, a fish hatchery, and a dam. Also climbed a huge rock, but I'm saving those pictures for their own post. *winks*

We ate lunch and hung out by the creek for a while before going to look at the falls.

Beautiful

We climbed as far as the bridge, but, unfortunately, couldn't go all the way to the top. The rest was closed off because of the fires, I guess.

All the coins. I wonder what I could buy if I went down and collected it all? xP

Fish hatchery and huge sturgeon!

The dam.

So that's that! Hope you enjoyed the photos!

My Trip to the West Coast, part 5: Train Ride

    It's about time I finish my posts on this past summer! So I'm working on that! ;)

   So, one of the days of my West Coast vacation, we went and rode this little old- fashioned train. :)

   Here is is. I took this after our trip, but I'm just putting the picture first. :)

   It was a scenic trip. We crossed a bridge over this river...

...Went through a dark tunnel! :D

   It was a clunky-sounding ride. ;P 

   Then we stopped to go walk down to a waterfall, passing through this old-fashioned train car. :) 

Aren't the falls pretty? :)

  On the way back, we saw some horses running in a pasture... They're so beautiful! Love horses. :)

   So that was one of our little experiences this summer! ;)

  I also thought I'd put some pictures that I left out in my last post, about the Lava Canyon. On our way "home", we stopped at a place beside the road where a little stream ran under the road, and walked through the trees to a bridge.

   After we came back to where the vehicles were parked, I took some pictures of these gorgeous foxgloves. They're really poisonous, but I love them! ;) 

    Well, that's that! :) My last post on our West Coast trip will be the beach (AMAZING!), and then I'll do a couple posts on my other summer trips. =D
