What a great week we had with John, Julie and kids! We called the president and he said take time and be with your family while they are here. So they kidnapped us and took us to Carlsbad Caverns. This cave is HUGE! We spent hours winding up and down the caves seeing sites human eyes have never seen. About a quarter of the way through a woman said, "how much further is this anyway" Little did I know we were only a quarter of the way through. By the time we finished I had huge blisters on my feet, but it was worth it. Jared, Joseph and James signed up to be Jr Rangers and they kept us on track all the way. The formations were unbelievable and very beautiful. We kept looking for bats but they told us they were in another part of the caves. The history of how a young 17 year old boy found this cave and wandered around with a lantern to explore it is amazing. When we saw the original ladder that they used to get to the bottom of the cave, I said "NO WAY".
