It’s been a few days, but we’ve been consumed with spending time with Grandma and Grandpa, aunts, uncles & cousins while we have the chance and haven’t spent much time blogging. We’ve had some great adventures though! Thursday we hiked up to Timpanogos Cave with my dad and toured the caves. Somehow I misunderstood & thought it was a half mile hike up to the cave & then a cave tour and a half mile back. I told our grumbling kids, “it’s like a walk to Starbucks…no big deal”! When we got to the ranger station she told us it was a 1.5 mile hike, with a change in altitude of 1100 feet.
The kids all gave me a fairly dirty look, but like the troopers they are started marching. We had a little chuckle when we passed the sign that warned those with heart problems or breathing difficulties to turn back, but took it a little more seriously as we saw the switchbacks ahead going straight up. We all made it to the top & really enjoyed the caves – they were very cool (literally – since it is a constant 43 degrees!), Truman thought they were “really good”…he really liked “the things sticking down”.
