We didn't have school on Monday or Tuesday this week so the Adams' and I were going to take all the kids to the Richmond Zoo, however the forecast of rain made us change our mind. Disappointed, we realized that going to the zoo wasn't going to happen and then Mary Adams thought of a most brilliant idea. She suggested taking the kids to Luray Caverns to explore the cave instead! So we hauled the whole crew of Miguel, Ivan, Edith, Lucero, Collin, and Marryn over the mountain to descend below the surface of the Earth into the biggest cave on the east coast (at least I think it is). Here's a picture of Ivan in the middle of the cave's pathways:
The kids thought the cave was totally cool and Ivan and I took hundreds of pictures. Seriously hundreds. Here's Ivan and Edith:
And Ivan in the creepy darkness of the cave (I really like the lighting of this picture):
Here a couple of the cave itself (I really, REALLY like the lighting of this picture):
The tour guide said that the rocks continue to grow, but incredibly slowly. He said they grow about an inch every 120 years. That's crazy. Here are Ivan, Lucero, and Edith:
And all 6 kids in the cave:
It was the best way I could think of to spend a rainy day off of school! Thanks to Mary for the great idea!
