Camping at Devil's Den

We spent the weekend at Devil's Den as is tradition for my family. My parents have camped there every Memorial weekend that I can remember. I have a lot of sweet memories of camping growing up. My mom and dad camped in their travel trailer while Mike, the girls & I stayed in a cabin. Mom and Dad's trailer site was base camp to us. We ate most of our meals with them. We had some yummy biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs. Just the kind of camping food you would expect. Christina and family surprised us Saturday afternoon. They were able to stay and eat dinner and visit for a while. Kodee, my sister's son, joined us on Sunday night too. It was nice to hang out with him. I think the girls wore him out with their chattering though. Lisa & Erin came up today and enjoyed getting soaked in the water faucet. Lisa brought up water balloons for the girls to enjoy. We had a fun time swimming, paddle boating, walking the trails and just relaxing with the family. I think Lauren loved the "getting dirty" part best. She was either playing in the puddles after the rain or putting gravel down her dress. She loved every minute. Chloe's favorite parts were definitely swimming and paddle boating. I was wishing her legs were a little bit longer on that paddle boat, whew, my legs were burning as it was Chloe, Lauren and I in a boat by ourself. Mike brought along his guitar and loved to relax and play. Mike and I managed to make some time for some good talks and just relaxing together. The cabin we rented had a nice screened porch with rocking chairs. A great place to chill during the rain. It was very nice but like the saying goes "there is no place like home".
