A 40th Celebration

As I have mentioned already, today is my sister Cindy's 40th birthday. In honor of that we all headed up to Damascus, VA for some camping and fun at Bear Tree Campground. We had a great evening on Friday with brats, smores and some really good ghost stories...Chick-fil-A! This morning everyone, except Wilson, Michael and myself, headed out for a 17 mile bike ride. I spent the morning doing what every good camper should do...going to the closest Super Target!!!! Well, this afternoon we got a terrible rainstorm. I ended up packing up our car and the boys and heading back to Morganton. When everyone else got back to the campsite (muddy, wet and worn out) they discovered that all of their belongings were drenched. We failed to prepare for the 20% of rain they were calling for. Kerry and Rene got the worst end of the deal...their tent had about 4 inches of water in it. Mom and Dad and Cindy and Chris had clothing and beds wet. So, everyone ended up packing up and heading home. Cindy didn't get to have her 40th celebration but it is always just so fun to get everyone together. We love you Cindy. Thanks for being one of the three best sisters ever...I love you!
