Memorial Day Weekend!

This weekend we drove to Eden Valley - which is a little secluded campground East of Cedar Rapids - I'm still not real sure where it is : ) We met up with the rest of the Devines and had a great time. I brought my camera, but it spent most of the time in the tent. For those of you who don't live close enough to know what the weather here was like this weekend - it rained, and I mean rained most of Saturday. We spent most of the day in the van trying to stay dry. Thank god our tent rocks and didn't leak!! Here are a few pictures to show you just how much rain we got!Notice the large puddle around our fire pit - it went inside too - amasingly, the guys were able to restart the fire and most of that puddle dried before we went to bed. Also, notice the large puddle in front of the wood pile - Grandpa Devine got a little wet when Sam (the dog) tripped him and he fell into that one!This pictures a little dark, but not everyone was upset about the puddles. Here's Levi and Sydney playing in one of the many puddles. This one came up to Levi's knees.

Here's Levi playing in another puddle - he told me he was taking a bath. This one is in front of Trudie and Jerry's camper.

In spite of the rain, we had an awesome time and are extremely exited for our next camping trip. We'll keep you posted as to where and when! Not a whole lot planned for the next few weeks - gotta save some money and get the house in order - sounds like fun uh?
