My parents and sister had planned a trip to Kentucky and invited us along. Ricky had to work on Saturday, so he took Friday off and stayed home with Ethan and Jack to make it possible for me to take Dylan and Lauren. Dylan, Lauren and I headed south to Mammoth Caves right after swim lessons were done on Friday. We stayed for the pool party day, but it rained again! Poor kids didn't get to have their pool party either session. It was a little over a 4 hour drive, and the kids didn't have to stop to use the bathroom until the exit before we got off. They did great and the drive wasn't too long. When we got there, we went straight to the Mammoth Cave. It was beautiful and COLD. It was only 54 degrees down there. Luckily we brought jackets for the kids, so they could enjoy it.

The whole group! The next morning, we went horseback riding on a trail through the woods. Dylan got to ride with me and Lauren rode with grandma. It was nice and relaxing and all the kids had a blast! (Grandma has the pictures, so I will update with them soon!)
We camped at Jellystone Park for the weekend. It was really fun other than the big rain storm we got on Saturday afternoon. We were lucky and our tents and supplies were ok. Others, not so much(as you can tell by this picture)! We weren't able to cook after the storm, so we ended up eating out for dinner. The kids didn't mind at all! 
After the storm, we went to this rock shop up the street. They had a Mystery House that we toured and had a blast. 
The kids took turns balancing on this chair with the front 2 legs not touching the ground.
And this part of the house made my sister (5 foot 2 inches) look taller than her boyfriend (over 6 feet tall)!

Sunday morning we packed up camp and headed to The Lost River Cave for a boat tour. It was beautiful and we got to hike down to the cave.
Here is the boat that we rode. To get through the cave, you have to duck down at the beginning. It was something I had never seen before!
The kids had so much fun together! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
