| Otis and LaWanda spent Sunday afternoon (July 8, 2012) at Multnomah Falls, just outside Portland. |
 |
| Nothing like an ice cream cone on a summer afternoon. |
 |
| We took 19-month-old Otis to Multnomah Falls in December 2009. Portland was experiencing unusually cold weather and the falls were frozen! |
 |
| Papa Tom and Otis at the falls. I decided it was worth sliding on the ice in the parking lot to get a photo. We didn't even try to hike to the bridge (see below). Next time! |

Yes, those are people on the bridge.
Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge.
The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet and a lower falls of 69 feet, with a gradual 9 foot drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet. Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon. It is credited by a sign at the site of the falls as the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States but that claim is debated among waterfall experts.
