The Weltys, Russells, and Slaughters all took a picnic to Washington Monument State Park and hiked up the trail to the monument. It was a breezy evening with perfect weather. I'll post more pics once the Warrens roll in!
Here's Jonathan outside the monument.
Caleb and Erin about to walk the winding stairs up to the top - it was so dark inside!!
The whole group (or most of them anyway) having a picnic after the hike.
Annie, Joshua and Bethany at the top of the monument.
Wes relaxing with a beautiful view behind him.
Isaac on the stone wall.
Molly showing us how big the view was!

I'll post more pics once the Warrens roll in!
So, what, the Warrens haven't rolled in yet??
"Alright. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right, and who is dead."
"But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you...are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he knows that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool--you would've counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
"You've made your decision then?"
"Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you."
"Truly you have a dizzying intellect."
"Wait till I get going! Where was I?"
"Australia."
"Yes, Australia. You must've suspected that I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
"You're just stalling now."
"You'd like to think that, now wouldn't you! You've beaten my giant which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet trusting on your strength to save you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
"You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work."
"IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!"
"Then make your choice."
"I will! And I choose-what in the world could that be?"
"What? I don't see anything."
"Well-I couldn't sworn I saw something. No matter."
"What's so funny?"
"I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours."
"Guessed wrong."
"You only think I guess wrong, that's what's so funny! I switched glases when your back was turned, haha you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved with a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ahahahahaha--"
