"This is a Rainy Labor Day Weekend with Your Family and Friends Looks Like!"

Labor Day Weekend! Finally, a much needed and very much anticipated weekend away with my husband and 2 daughters and my college "family." AND of course........IT RAINS!!!!! However, I ought not complain as the rain was much needed, but to go all summer with next to none and NOW, it decides to rain......

However, a little bit of rain, OK, A LOT OF RAIN, did not spoil our weekend getaway. What do you do with three cabins, 1 camper, 10 college friends (2 of which were unexpected visitors but always welcome), 10 kids (plus 3 more with the 2 unexpected college friends--so 13), 1 dog, one set of college friends parents,  and A LOT OF RAIN!!!!!???? Well sit back, relax, take a look and enjoy! This blog may not be big on words, but it is big on memories for me and my family.

....AND there we are posing for the camera and tripod! All kids present except the smallest was taking a nap.
That is one good looking crew if I may say so! AND no the girl is the gray shirt in the middle is NOT one of the kids! 

I can still see you but nice try.....

When it rains, why not go to the Visitor Center?

What? Are those kids actually squinting due to the sun coming out?? OF COURSE, go to the Visitor Center and the rain STOPS and SUN COMES OUT!!!
