Penn's Cave

Since I spent the last week in Anaheim California at the annual accounting conference, I came back and made sure I spent some time with the family.  We decided to go to Penn's Cave, which apparently is a popular tourist destination, because when we got there, we were informed there would be a 2 hour wait before we could get in to see the cave.  In the mean time, we took the kids through the Miner's Maze, which was kind of like a corn maze.  They found all the hidden letters on their own, while I followed them to make sure they didn't get scared or lost.  

Penn's Cave was different from other caves we've visited in the past.  This one could only be viewed on a boat, because the water inside was 38 degrees and ranged between 3-16 feet deep.  Here's a view from our boat as you head into the cave.

And here's the view looking back at the entrance as you head into the cave.

Probably  the best views in the cave are in the beginning.

Although, it was interesting to see the light show they put on inside.

Little Zade passed out half way through the cave, so I had to carry him back to the car afterwards. Apparently the cave wasn't exciting enough for him.  The rest of us enjoyed it though.

DESPICABLE ME 2
We generally never see movies at the theater, given the cost. However, we've all been excited about seeing Despicable Me 2, so we decided to go see it with our neighbors.  It was worth it. Lots of laughs.  Phrases like "lip-stick taser" will be heard within our house for years to come. :)

RYZEN UPDATE
Little Ryzen is now 2 months old and is a stout lout.  He eats a ton, and is a very good natured fellow.  He seems to be growing out of the reflux phase, and is sleeping a lot better at night. He's also beginning to smile when you talk to him, and loves to be carried around in the Baby Bjorn facing forward so he can see the world.
