Memorial day campsite

Due to Deanna's job, we decided to give up on trying to travel somewhere for the weekend. Since we love to camp we decided it would be much simpler just to set up the tent in the back yard. Of course right after we took the picture the rain started. Although it wouldn't be camping without rain would it? We cooked up supper on our new fire pit that Dea's parents gave us and then sat under the flap of the tent enjoying the double rainbow that God put in the sky just for us.
Things got interesting during the night when the dogs down the road started a barking match with a coyote. Both Will and I lay there awake feeling kind of creepy listening to that coyote. It sounded kind of like a crazy hyena laughing.
Now we are up and about today. Going to try and go to the Memorial Day service out at the cemetery. Work more on my parents auction, get Jacob ready for his three day field trip next week and then have a picnic with brats and burgers.
Hope you all have/had a wonderful Memorial Day. Thank you God for the blessings of living in a nation where we enjoy so much in abundance, even on our worst days.

Sorry, We did spend some time after church and lunch sitting on Dea's parents front porch. I played guitar while everyone else tried to sing along. I say "tried" because while they are all great singers, I am a very poor guitarist....
