Caves!

On Saturday we were planning on taking a hike, but Justin got tied up doing some scout stuff, so we didn't have as much time as we planned. We decided since we already had a lunch packed and the kids were all geared up, we'd just go take the hike at the rest stop. We decided to try the new path on the east side this time. It's crazy, but our kids love it there.

The kids loved posing for pictures. The girls kept finding a rock to stand next to.

Truman, happy to see we're done!
The girls had so much fun finding little caves to climb in to along the way. We decided that since we had some extra time, we'd take the kids to the elephant hunter's cave just out of Idaho Falls. They had so much fun, Ogden on the other hand, took a while to adjust.






Thumbs up to the elephant hunter's cave.
It was a fun day, and when we were through, we headed to Aunt Lois's for her yummy tacos!! and then played some wii with my cousins Adam, Mitch, and Jaci.

Who knew a rest stop could be so fun. Glad to see that Annie is proudly sporting her school colors!

I have not been to that cave since I was a teenager. How fun! So which side of the interstate is better?

That does sound like such a thumbs-up day. Glad you all had a great time.

Was Justin able to complete the hike without throwing up?

Looks like fun! I've been to the rest stop, just never hiked around. We'll have to check it out sometime when we are out that way!
