Cave Beauties


Took a drive to a really cool cave today.  This is a stop along the path to get to the entrance of the cave.

The above photo was taken inside the cave on the tour.  It was a fun tour that gave a lot of great history on how it was found as well as all of the cool structures that are inside. 


There are several steps that must be taken (some can be seen in the photo above), both going up and down along the path.  They are slick and some are really bumpy.  It is nice that they have hand railings for tourists to hold onto while on the tour.

It was a lot of fun to take the tour, but man...are my legs sore.  There are a few very steep inclines and declines that must be walked within the cave (stairs) with a total of over 1000 in all.  I sure got my workout today, but it was worth it!

Fourth of July beauties


     There are a lot of little towns around that have their own fireworks shows.  This little diddy is the finale of the show we watched on the Fourth of July this year.  It was an awesome show, and it was a great way to end the holiday weekend.
