A Hike in a Cavern-Natural Bridge Caverns-that is!

For a last grab at a summer adventure, we drove to New Braunfels. Johnny wanted Joseph to experience Natural Bridge Caverns. We have been before, but thought Joseph and his friend Bobby would like to see it. I thought it would be a "cool" indoor trip. NOT! It was so hot in the caves-well, very humid. We were dripping by the time we got through the cave. But I loved it, except for the heat-I hate heat. The boys were not as thrilled as I thought and Bobby said he had been here "many times before". Here we go.......

(In case we didnt come back out-hehe)
Bobby, Joseph, Rebecca, Johnny
Joseph & Bobby-this is the only
place in the cave that you are allowed
to touch. SO THEY DID!
(Joseph open your eyes!)

On our way into the cave
looks like ribbons,but Joseph
says they look like bacon-
(he may have been hungry at the time he was looking)

Living Fern brought in cave by workers
(not on purpose) while excavating the cave
Joseph & Bobby
Going further down into the cave
it was easy walking down into the cave,
it was the walking back up that was tough!
Joseph & Bobby / Beautiful !!

Joseph & Bobby on their way back
up to the exit (our legs are tired)
looks like they are happy now!
Hmmm! should I let them out??
Oh, okay!!!
Now! back to the car & let's go home. . .
Before we knew it, I looked in the back seat
and. . . . . .
They were out like a light!

We made a stop in Stockdale
for watermelon-hehe!
Yeah! almost home
NEXT, Sneak Peak at school
then.......naptime!! (for me & Johnny anyway!)

Friday

A New Rocker for the Front Porch

I bought this rocker at TSC, a tractor supply company, it was in a carton and on sale.
So it also became a project for Johnny to put together. I know if my daughter had been
around-she would have done this for me-she is a wiz at putting things together.
This will be stained (for the weather and also for some much needed color) for the porch.
My son also suggested adding a star to the rocker back. Anyone up for the next step?
Let me know.
