Memorial Day at Devils Den

So part of our busy weekend was our yearly trip to Devil's Den for Memorial Day and for Jennifer's birthday. I think this has officially become a tradition because when we all got up and saw the forecast for Monday, Jennifer said I'm going if I get wet or not! So we went.

Lucky for us, dad can design and build anything you need so he went out early and devised a system of ropes high in the trees that he could stretch a tarp over (the one from the ice storm used to cover his hole covered roof! ;-) ) It worked perfect and as the rains came, we were dry and having a great time! Whenever water would gather on the tarp, we would have to push it over the ropes. It made for a pretty cool picture though!

The whole family made the best of it and I think everyone was laughing all day long. We even braved the trail and got soaked, at one point taking shelter in the freezing cold devil's den ice box cave! Just take a look at mom holding Averee in the cave! She's probably going to kill me putting that picture on here.. Sorry Mom but i couldn't resist!

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day! And a special thanks to all of those who have served in our military. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for all the freedoms we enjoy.
