Hocking Hills+Great Friends=Fond Memories

We were able to make our annual trip to Hocking Hills this past Memorial Day Weekend.  Every year, Memorial Day Weekend rolls around and I can't help but think back to this very same weekend 5 years ago.  I was newly divorced and needed to get away.  My brother, Branden, invited me up to BYU-I to visit.  Little did I know I would meet the man I was destined to marry.  Needless to say, we always like to do something special to celebrate.  What better way than to camp with some of your closest friends?
This was our 4th year camping in Hocking Hills.  We always reserve the same site-it is HUGE!  We camped Fri-Sun.  This year we invited the Eastman's,  the Dean's, the Fullmer's and the Johnson's.  10 adults and 7 kids made for a weekend of fun.  We did lots of hiking, LOTS of good eating and had some fun at the local lake/beach.  I am already looking forward to next year.

 Setting Up
First Hike down to Cedar Falls.  We saw a total of 4 people at the bottom.  It was really cool to have the whole place to ourselves!!!
(I will insert our Old Man's Cave pics here once Karlie sends them to me-wink, wink)
Ash Cave-it's hard to tell, but I was standing in front of a very skinny water fall.
