The day after Annabelle and Jonah's big hike, we went to 7 peaks with Merrillyn's kids. Annabelle and Jonah grouped up with Daniel and Macey. Grace, Mekeli and Tamia did everything together. Olivia got to have Jennifer as a best buddy. We all had a great time!
The next morning, Wednesday, we loaded up our things and said goodbye to Grandma Hallam early in the morning. We wanted to tour Timpanogos Cave before going north to Karla's.
The walk up to the cave entrance is 1 1/2 miles up steep inclines. Even little Olivia and Finn walked the whole way holding Dad's hands! Wow, what strong little legs!
At the top we put on our jackets again. Dad gave us hand warmers that fit in our pockets. The cave was dark and cold. Annabelle and Jonah got to take turns leading the group with the flashlight.
Here is Grace in front of the largets stalactite. We enjoyed seeing all the different cave formations. One of them looked like a carrot hanging down from above. It drips water every few seconds. Jonah stood right underneath and caught a drop in his mouth!
Finn actually fell asleep during the tour of the cave. Ezra carried him. It was hard to duck and walk while carrying a child. He stayed asleep for a small portion of the walk down the mountain. But then walked the rest of the way down with all of us.
The view on the mountainside:
Perfect, beautiful day!
