Birthday Extravaganza

Instead of having a birthday party this year, we decided to take the boys on a weekend trip to Cave City.  While there we visited Mammoth Cave:


and hiked out to the river Styx:


We went to Dinosaur World (life sized fiberglass dinosaurs!  campy delight!)



We went through Big Mike's House of Mysteries (best 2$ we've ever spent), and James and I went horseback riding while Joe and Eliot visited Sand Cave.  We then went to KY Down Under, where we fed the Lories:

patted a Kangaroo:

and went through another cave:

In other news, the weather here has been bizarre.  I took this (unedited) picture of the sky the other night, telling Joe I was fairly sure we had entered Mordor.


Pictures of James' birthday celebration will be forthcoming!
