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!
