Dry Falls & Lake Lenore Caves

We were supposed to go camping Labor Day weekend, but it didn't work out, so my sister suggested the we have a "staycation" (a vacation where you just stay home) instead.  On Saturday, we barbecued with family, and on Sunday, we barbecued with friends, but the highlight of our "staycation" was taking our four youngest to Dry Falls and the Lake Lenore Caves on Labor Day.  Although we were ill prepared for our impromtu hike--Hannah, Olivia, and I were in flip-flops, and Olivia was in a skirt--we had a fabulous time learning about cataclysmic floods, exploring caves, and searching for arrowheads!

More Kids!

Ha!  I know what you're thinking, so let me set the record straight.  No, I am NOT pregnant!  No, we are not adopting again.  And no, we are not accepting any more "exchange students" at this time.  What are we doing?  We're kidding...literally!  On August 31, two of our goats had kids!

Is there anything cuter than a baby goat...?
