Outside fun

So yesterday mom had the day off, a slight miracle in itself, and we decided to go to Cedar Mtn. and enjoy some cooler weather and some fun! It was MUCH cooler. Unfortunately it was quite windy. We did find some fun new places to explore though. This is the ice cave, look at the colors on the wall! It is SO dark you can't see them but when the flash on the camera went off, it was AMAZING!

We also went to the Mammoth Cave, I've never been here before. It is amazing. Looks like a hole in the ground from up top but it goes for about a 1/4 mile underground. It is PITCH black and our flashlights weren't very good. Andrew made it about half way through but then made me turn around. He did NOT like it. Mom and Samantha made it all the way though. They said it was really hard at the end and they had to crawl through on their bellies in the mud. I didn't get a picture of where they came out, it was a tiny hole in a grate. But they MADE it! We also say Clarissa and Josh there. There was a youth conference group and a cross country team there when we got there. We were glad to have them show us the way.



This is a view from the inside.


This is the metal grate that we had to go through to get in. The one where they came out is about a 16th of this size!

Those are amazing photos. I don't think I have ever been there, but it sounds like a lot of fun.
