A fabulous time with friends. :)

Well, I've just finished a pretty crazy, couple weeks of working. I'm so glad it's over even though the overtime pay is always good. :)
This last weekend, we had our wonderful friends, the Noah's, down for a couple days and had a blast with them! :) They came Friday afternoon and we had pizza, played hero band (I think that's what it's called), walked downtown, ate lots of candy and brownies, and stayed up very late. :) Saturday we got up, went to Rock Bridge Park and hiked down to the devil's icebox (it's a cave, for those of you who didn't know). We went at the perfect time and actually got a tour to the back of the cave... it was very dark, the water was cold, but the AC worked like awesome down there! ;-) It was terrible to come back out into the heat and humidity.This was taken right after we came out of the cave... and yes, I am the shortest in the group... and also the oldest. Strange how the always seems to be the case. :)

Emily and Daniel looking very cool. :-)

Stopping for a picture in front of the big green rock.

This wasn't the cave we went in, but it's still cool looking. And I absolutely love it in black and white! :)

Down the stairs to the entrance of the cave. We didn't end up getting any pictures of the entrance or while we were in the cave, which is sad, but I guess when we start to forget what it looked like we'll just have to go back. ;-)

After we made it alive out of the cave, we went on a 2-1/2 mile hike... which ended up taking longer than we thought. ;) We didn't know that it was supposed to storm that afternoon and so we got completely soaked, but boy was it a blast! :) It was so awesome to feel the wind blowing through the trees and then having the rain gushing down on us.... it was incredibly, my friends, simply incredible. :) I wouldn't trade it for anything, especially with the good company we had. :)
Of course, they had to leave Sunday afternoon and so I was left with a quiet house... well, besides the dog, who breathes so loud it's simply amazing. Well, maybe all dogs breathe that loud and I'm just not around very many to notice. :) Here's a few of the pictures we took after church...

And that was my wonderful weekend. :)
