We had a blast and were so happy that they had a cave that everyone could do. With ages ranging from 4 to 80 and with some knee difficulties and head injury's we weren't so sure this would be a fun trip. It was and there was something for everybody. KC went to the opening of all the caves we toured but once the rails stopped and the path was all rock or not lit up he turned around and said "no way". I am proud of him for being strong enough to say no. We did let him go in the last cave and kept him in between two adults and never let him go. At times he sat out with the Grandmas so I could go in and take a peek. The Golden one was our favaorite. I think it was fun because at first you have to pass a rock called Headache Rock. There isn't much space between it and the ladder down and you can't look to see where it is and if you are clear. Luckily with the large group we were able to guide each other down and we had no headaches from it. Once we got further inside the top of the cave was golden. It is a bacteria that gets trapped under the water and it appears as gold.
Looking back at the opening of our fist cave Skull cave
Waiting for Uncle Adam or Scott to tell us wich way to go. We saw 3 openings.
We turned off all of the falshlights to show the kids just how dark it is deep down.
The gold bacteria
Oh and once the weather got warm and the snow cleared we enjoyed some outside time playing volleyball and crochet. We loved being with family and away from everything else. I hope the next 3 years go by fast so we can do it again.
