I've been hearing about this marvelous cave in the foot hills that I had to take the boys to. Everyone said it was a bit steep but paved hike up to the cave. A bit steep is a severe understatement. More like 1.5 miles at a 10+ degree incline, no shade and a jagged rock cliff drop off along the entire right side. The boys actually made it all the way to the top, through the mile long cave and back down again. Of course not with out a lot of grumbling. At one point I was telling Ben that we should climb this path every day until he could run up the mountain. Well a little while later after one of our water breaks Ben takes off running full bore yelling over his shoulder "I'm not doing this every day, I'm running now!" Poor kido.
We'll they really did enjoy the cave when they got to it.
My favorite thing though was Sam falling dead asleep on Bryan's head on the way down. He hiked all the way up, all through the caves and on the way down told dad he needed a lift. Not 30 seconds later he's snoring on dad's head. It's priceless!
