Summer has finally arrived in West Virginia, just in time for Memorial Day!
To kick off the unofficial start of summer, we took a picnic lunch to Coopers Rock State Forest with my brother Jeff and sister-in-law Cecelia. It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect for hiking....low 70s, slight breeze, sunny. Morgan got to experience her first real picnic and got to see some of the most beautiful sights in Appalachia. 
We were sad to miss the annual Woodchoppers Festival in Webster Springs, but we may have started a new family tradition. We will certainly be going back to Coopers Rock again this summer for another picnic and more fun. 
We are so thankful to all the servicemen and women who have served (especially Great-Grandpa Ralph, Great-Grandpa Don, and Grandpa "Lips") and those who continue to serve (especially Uncle Chris) in order for us to be free. We live in the land of the free, ONLY because of the brave. God bless our military.
