Timpanogos Cave


Okay...so I totally stole these pictures off of Mary and John's blog. I don't know if that's against some kind of blog etiquette...is there even such a thing? Oh well, Thank you Espinosa's!
We weren't sure if we were going to be doing anything on Memorial Day because Jane's been having a hard time at night. We put her to bed Sunday night hoping we wouldn't be up every 10 to 20 minutes (like the three nights before) and lo and behold she slept until 5:00 am! So, we got up in hurry so we'd be able to get tickets, fed the baby, pulled Lucas out of bed, loaded up the car, and made our way to Timpanogos Cave. Our time slot to see the cave was going to be about an hour and half wait so we decided to get some breakfast in Highland. We assumed we'd be able to find a McDonalds somewhere....nope! The only place that we could find was a Del Taco. So, we ate breakfast....at Del Taco. enough said. The rest of the day went better than I expected...the kids loved the hike and didn't complain, the baby slept the whole time, the weather was nice and cool, the cave was a BIG hit with the kiddos, and then we all devoured our packed lunch at a cute little park to end our afternoon. These are the kind of days that I just love being a parent!

Those pictures are great. I feel like I've visited the cave without the lousy hike.

What a buddy that David is -- do you want to borrow our snugli baby carrier? Thomas just sprawls out of it with one leg hanging out now and Steven just complains the whole time that he's too big because he's eleven years old.
