SpelunkingThere are many natural caves near where I live, and Saturday we decided to explore one. A friend that works with my husband, decided to play tour guide for the day and showed us around the dark cavernous cave. I packed us a picnic lunch, and we headed off down the damp, dark, enormous hole in the ground.
At first, my daughters were a little nervous. Especially when we went around a bend and could no longer see the way out. A lantern and flashlights were providing us ample light so we began to sing songs to take their minds of being scared. After a few rounds of "how much is that doggie in the window" and "if you are happy and you know it, clap your hands", they were yelling, laughing, and enjoying every moment. Eventually the girls got into the cave exploration and we could fully enjoy ourselves.
After about an hour, our tour guide/friend started making up dragon stories. Mostly on request of my daughter, he would point out rock formations that looked like a "petrified dragon" and she would race over to investigate. He pointed out the dragon's wings, body, head, eyes, mouth, and nose. The four year old would touch each of these with awe and then... ACHOO! The dragon sneezed goobers all over her hand! Oh no! Yucky! This game provided the adults with nonstop entertainment.
All in all, it was a great experience and I fully plan to explore the caves again. If nothing else, it would be a great place to take our extended family when they come to visit.
