Some of our final activites took place on our drive home. We stopped in at LEWIS and CLARK CAVERNS STATE PARK and went through the cave. We had a fun time...by we I may be talking just Aaron and me. The jury is still out on whether or not the kids enjoyed it. To start out with, you have to hike a little distance uphill on a trail in the heat to get to the cave entrance. That just MAY have been the kids' favorite part! -do you sense the sarcasm there?

| I told them to look like they had just trekked up the side of a mountain with the sun beating down on them for 20 minutes. I think they captured that look rather well. |
Inside the cave it was quite a bit cooler. I think that made them happy for awhile. Until of course the realization that they were inside a dark cave with deep, narrow caverns to climb through sunk in.

| did I mention it was dark in there? |

| Sam had the hardest time and basically drove himself into an asthma attack with his panicking. However, right here he looks like he is having fun! |
After the trauma of the cave, it was time to eat. Our tradition is to stop in Dell to eat at the famous
Calf-A there. If you ever are heading that way, stop on in. I do believe that sometimes the number of people inside out-number the residents of this tiny town.
I had a hard time seeing this vacation come to an end. Hopefully the kids will have some good memories of it as they get older.
