Memorial Day Camping

 We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend camping at Cascade Park, property owned by our church. We were so glad our friends joined us. The weather during the day was a little drizzly with enough sunbreaks to give me a little bit of a sunburn. It rained every night. The first two nights our tent did a reasonable job of keeping us dry. The last night, we were soaked. It was miserable and I was ready to get in the car and drive home. Home was five minutes away from our campsite...not a long drive. When I suggested going home, Rachel insisted that in order to be a "true camper" we had to stay. Rachel is usually my reluctant camper. Not this weekend. She was so excited to camp and be a "true camper." She wanted to sleep on the ground outside of the tent. I convinced her a "true camper" could sleep under the rain fly in the netted section of the tent. She agreed. She was the wettest one out of all of us, but she never complained. Amazing! She usually complains. It was so nice to have a camping trip without the complaining.
