Caves and kids

We have had a lot of fun this last week. Regan, Aaron and my mom came for a visit. As I put all the pictures on the computer I realized we didn't have many pictures, and I only had a few of our guests :o( Well here is some of what we did. The family and my mom went out in search of a ghost town. On the way up a back road we saw this and stopped the car. It was crazy. Just off the side of the road so close that you could just fit your car by it with out falling in.


Matt really wanted to go in. I was not so happy about that! He looked around a bit but we had no flash light so he stayed out, and i was so glad about that. After we started to drive away I found Matt's head lamp in the van. Thankfully the kids asked him not to go in there!
Here is Matt and Levi near the old town site of Ward. This is what we came to see, but when we got here we found a sign that said most of the town was moved 100 years ago and then there was a fire. We did see some building foundations and some other things. It was really neat even if there wasn't much there.


Levi and Owen


When Regan and Aaron were here we went to Lehman Caves. It was SO AWESOME!!! This is the original opening to the caves. This is how visitors use to get in.

While we were at the park the kids became Jr Rangers.



Here are some pictures of the caves. It was really amazing. There are some names written on the walls from the 1800's.


Thanks to Regan for taking a family picture!



Here is one of the only pictures of Regan and Aaron on our camera. I need to be better.

I was worried with how the kids would do. The tour was an hour long, but they did amazing. Levi stayed out with Grandma so she wouldn't be alone :o)



Here is Noah and Levi all ready for Church. He is growing up so fast and the kids love him to bits.
We also went to cave lake and garnet hill. We found some good garnets this time. I will have to ask Regan and my mom if they have any pictures and I can post more later!
