Caves. of. Wonder.

Last Sat. morning we were sitting around and realized we did not want to waste our whole day just sitting around and watching TV... so I turned to the internet and searched, "things to do in Iowa."  This is what we found.
So we packed up some food to BBQ and headed a hour and a half north to check them out.  We were pleasantly surprised and had a GREAT Time hiking and checking out the caves. The weather was perfect.... it was so lush and green.... and I almost forgot I was in Iowa because of the scenery. This was about the most real thing to hiking that we have done since living here in Iowa.  I took a ton of pictures so enjoy!  
Here I am under the Natural Bridge.
Adam and Lincoln heading down to part of the 'Dancehall' Cave.  
 Let Your Light So Shine! 
 Inside the cave.  
Lincoln was sleeping for the first half of the hike. He was pretty comfy hanging out with Dad. 
Put as soon as he woke up, this is what he was doing... Looking around at everything. He loved it all.
 So we turned him around and you can tell he was much Happier! We love our bald little guy. 
 I would def. recommend checking it out! We had a great time and would def. go back.
Oh and one last picture to document what a good Dad Adam is.... here he is changing Lincoln's dirty diaper after our hike.

I love this place. It has caves for everyone...the slide on your belly ones for the more brave and the walk through without stooping for those with babies? I forgot about this place, I need to go back.

Erin you are so right there really are caves for everyone... although currently many of the caves are closed to 'white nose bat syndrome'?? or something like that. Still this place was awesome just to hike around.
