The biggest waterfall in Europe!

The largest waterfall in Europe, the Rhine Falls, is literally in our backyard (less than an hour away), so we figured we better make a trip to see it last month. It was a beautiful crisp fall day so how better to spend it then out hiking along the Rhine River. Although the falls aren't comparable to Niagara, I still found them to be quite impressive and Emma found the whooshing noise of all the water to be mesmerizing. Here are a few photos from our day along the river and the falls...

You could take a boat out to this lone rock and stand in the middle of the falls!

Not as big as Niagara, but still pretty cool

Emma was in a great mood that day - but I think she decided to eat her father's arm here...

Still laughing
