Trip to Bend

We had a great time on our trip to Bend, OR.  We had hoped for better weather for Memorial Day weekend but it rained most of the time.  We still managed to find plenty to do, to come back more tired than when we left.  Here is a picture of the kids in a little cave they found at Fort Rock.  It was very unlike Jason and I to stray from the path to home to venture to something a bit out of the way (it added at least 2 hours onto our trip, but who's counting).  We only had about 20 minutes before it started pouring rain.  Since we did go out of our way we decided to trek around in the rain for a bit.  Fort Rock really is worth the out of the way trip the kids loved it and we could have spent a lot longer there.  It's basically an old volcano that's been worn away and is now a large rock formation that kind of looks like huge fort.  The kids had a great time climbing around and exploring.  The second picture is when we were in an actual lava cave, it was an out and back cave.  Not quite as fun as a one way cave, go in one end come out another.
