ENDLESS CAVERNS

These are the hibernating baby bats. They were so cute there hanging on the ceiling. There was only one that we saw flying around trying to get out, but otherwise it was SNOOZE TIME!
This was like a little mini world cavern all in itself. It was only about three feet from top to bottom. It looked like a little elf or fairy town.

They actually held gown balls down in this area....okay, it was back in the day of prohibition, so they had parties down in this area, but they called them balls. It was very interesting. They've even had weddings there as recently as 1996.
These caverns were found in the 1800's by two 10 year-old boys that were rabbit hunting and chased a rabbit behind a boulder, moved the rocks and found this huge hole. There is no end that has been found to these caverns as yet. It was very interesting even to my kids!

Do you think Braden will ever give us a good face? What a goof! These hats were great until you look up. Parker looked up at one point and his hat came crashing to the ground. Even the tour guide jumped out of her skin. I swear we all thought the caves were coming in the way it vibrated around the room. It is funny now luckily.
