Boulder Cave

We are really loving hiking up here. Everything is so lush, green, and shady it makes for a lovely FREE Saturday activity. We had heard about this Boulder Cave hike from a number of people so we figured we needed to go check it out. At the top of the hike there is a big "bat cave" that was made by the river. It goes straight through. In the middle it is pitch dark so trust me you need more then one little pencil flashlight for 5 people...sigh. I guess it wasn't too traumatic for the kids though because they wanted to go right back through again! Here is Lee and the kids at the end of the cave.

This is right before we went through the cave (sorry all the pics are in backwards order). You can see Tessa really enjoys hiking too!

There is a waterfall up here before the cave. There is a sign that says stay on trail we saw afterwards. I am sure the other 59 people hiking up to it didn't see the sign either :)
Savannah chose to ride after a little bit. Her little legs got tired.
This tree stump made the perfect chair. Please, please, note Annie has started to pick out her own clothes. I have given up fighting about it....sigh. Gotta choose my battles with this one. We can't wait to do it again. Maybe when Aunt Amara comes next month?

Wish we could come. Looks like a place we would like to be.
