Colossal Mountain Cave

We went as a family to Colossal Cave Mountain Park this weekend. One neat thing about it is that it's apparently a "dead" cave, in that there is no water in it anymore, so the formations are no longer growing. The one benefit this has is that they allow you to take pictures inside, because they don't have to worry about camera flashes disturbing the formations. Thus, we were able to get a bunch of good pics. The only unfortunate thing about the cave is that is has been severely vandalized, because many people have broken off pieces of the formations (to take as souvenirs).







Afterwards we had a picnic outside and were able to get some shots of little Zade smiling. He's quite a jolly little fellow:



Here are just a couple more fun misc. family pics:

I love all the photos. Zade looks like family to me. Yay!

Aria's expressions remind me of Dwight- he's always saying "cheese!!" in pictures now. Fun cuteness :)

You are so adventurous! Was there a hike to the cave? I seem to be too tired to go anywhere lately especially with the whole family. I'm sure it'd be worth it, though, for the experience and memories. I'm proud of you two for making the effort and it looks like you had a great time. Fantastic hat Tara.
