This month sure has been an exciting and wonderful month. We got company the 15th and then the 17th. My in-laws came and stayed a week and then Justin and Sarah came and stayed for a few weeks. Rylie enjoyed it. (well the kids are still here until Friday). We haven't done much but we will be here for the next 3 years anyway so there is plenty of time. Don't need to get all the site seeing done in one trip. Anyway.. on the 18th of March we took a drive to Mammoth cave National Park here in Kentucky. we started out by driving in the country. it was beautiful. We got to an area where there were several deer on the side of the road. I got 2 pics but the one isn't very good. We went on a small ferry in order to get to the park. That was pretty neat. It was Rylie did very well. We were afraid we would all have to take turns carrying her. But she walked all the way. Way to go. HEHE!! Anyway We took a probably 2 hour tour of parts of the cave. Got some pictures and ate at the little restaurant they had in their hotel. I think we went up and down 500 steps or more. I can't remember. Anyway a little history on Mammoth Cave:Mammoth Cave is the world's largest cave system, with more than 365 miles explored. In fact it is so long that if the second and third longest caves in the world were joined together, Mammoth Cave would still be the planet's longest cave and have nearly 100 miles left over! The first human to enter the cave was over 4000 years ago. The cave gets its name because of its vast chambers and complex labyrinths.
Anyone interested in visitng the caves.. you can always stay with us. I think its interesting that such a massive cave system was built by water. Hmm... makes a person wonder about so much more in life.
