An Adventure

The little woman was suppose to go to the Ape Caves yesterday with the girl scout troop.  Last minute she opted not to go.  She felt it was too long away from home.
Jeremy wanted to go to the caves.  He wasn't sure what or where they were.  Well the only ones I can think of locally are the ape caves.  So after much hemming and hawing, I said let's do it. We put gas in his car and he followed me up past Cougar to the ape caves.
I have never been to the caves so had no idea what to expect.  We brought the little woman's head light and we used our phones for flashlights.  It is very dark in those tunnels.  And I now the head light is bright.  Blinds me well.  The cave just absorbs the light.
The caves are amazing.  We only did the lower part.  We never saw any bats and that disappointed the little woman.  She wanted to bring one home.  She wants to bring one home of everything we might come across.  I just keep saying...wild animals.  Nope.  Nada.  Not happening ever.
By the time we went down and back I was especially warm.  The little woman was cold and I know it was cold in the cave because we could see our breath.  But I worked hard going down and back up.  Took a two minute breather on a bench and I was fine.  Thank goodness.  Everyone wants to do the upper one next time.  I think I will sit on a bench and wait.  I saw the girl scout pictures and there is a ladder.  I don't like ladders.
So we got out in nature.  It was a great adventure for all of us, but especially the kids.  They needed an adventure.  Reconnects them to the earth and wears them out a little too.
