Mystery Cave

With the summer visit of son Tony and the Grands (Ethan, Tensae and Leonard) we took in numerous museums, a zoo, nature outings, went fishing on Lake Zumbro and deep underground in Forestville State Parks Mystery Cave. 
My little point and shoot wasn't quite up to the half dark and eerie lighting of the cave but it was definitely an fun and enlightening experience for the kids. 
Our ranger tour guide in the cave was a former English student of Mrs. T.  So the kids got to hear a little bit about their Gramma in a different vein.  What fun!

    What a small world. Hopefully Mrs T got rave reviews! I have no doubt he had some good remarks.

    Always interesting to run into former students. They seem to change so much. Guess we do to.

    Caves are a very different dimension of things.

    I have only been in one cave in my life...and it was in the western Appalachian Mountains. It was deep...and dark....and majestic!
    Loved it (and was a little frightened by the darkness that entails being deep within the Earth.)
    Thank you for sharing your family photos. I'm so glad that you all had such a wonderful time.
    Smiles,
    Jackie

    A happy outing to an interesting place. Hope the Grands liked it in there ... and the stories they were told.

    They were getting an education in those caves, it seems. Nice pictures, TB. I think your point and shoot did pretty well! :-)

    It is always great for kids to hear about their relatives as regular people as opposed to the familiar roles. I remember the first time I heard about my Mom as a young person, I thought, "Wow, wish I had known her then".

    I imagine that your grand-kids and you had lots to talk about after their cave visit -- something that I feel they won't forget doing with you and Mrs T. Nice photos -- barbara
