Underground River Expedition

I'm super behind in my posts, but I guess it's just that time of year... between Thanksgiving, Jonathan's birthday, Christmas programs and outreaches, and Christmas itself, it sure is busy!! :)  Here are a couple pics of our outing with Mom and Dad to the underground river just half hour away from us.

It was a pretty drive a short way into the mountains... it was a cold day, but beautiful!

on the drive there...

We never get family pictures, so we decided to try a couple while we were waiting.

 This was right at the beginning of the cavern. 

There were some places on the river where we all had to put our heads down into the boat in order to pass through the tight places.  It was incredible.  We weren't allowed to take pictures inside on the river itself, so we just have a few from the beginning.

It was definitely off season, so it was a bit cold and some of the restaurants right there were closed down, but it was perfect for us!  It was quiet and calm.  No lines.  Room for the kids to run around and play while we were waiting for our tour.  It was definitely a worth-while experience!  When you come to visit us, we'll have to take you there! ;)
