Cavin'

Okay, so maybe that depends on your definition of "caving." But we did spend time in a cave with a tour guide and nice sturdy handrails - which is the only kind of caving to do with Audi along.

We went to Onodaga State Park and toured the Onodaga cave (there are two caves to tour at the park).

Beemer in her "favorite room in any cave - ever!"
She was enchanted throughout the tour.

Audi and me - right before she started stating loudly, "Mom, we better hurry. I'm afraid of heights" as we walked down a steep ramp. Nevermind that we were underground, or that Beemer taught her the phrase. She was determined.



At one point, the tour guide asked for Beemer's help. She got to hold the flashlight and lead the group!



My favorite room - the Lilypad room.

This cave was the best I have been in. The formations were breathtaking and the history fascinating, and the 57 degrees (when it was almost 100 outside) didn't hurt!
It was a great way to spend a Saturday!

The cave looks fun. Glad you kept a hold on Audi, can totally see her running off and finding her own room. Nice pictures! And I bet Beemer loved being the leader. Oldest kids are like that. ;)

It was awesome. People with really nice cameras should visit and let us take them there.
