Seeing Caves and Cave City



Today, we spent the morning in the Mammoth Cave National Park.
We rode on the Green River Ferry, which was a unique and free experience. The drive was beautiful on both sides of the river.

Also, we took the Frozen Niagara Cave Tour. All of the family was able to complete the tour. We moved from 92 degree temp. to 54 degree temp. Jared was scared at times. Charlee walked part of the way. I had to carry her down 48 stairs, which was easy. However, going up was a little challenging, but, we made it.

The "Drapery Room" was amazing and beautiful in its own way. At one point they turned off the lights, which revealed the darkest "dark" I've ever experienced. I could not see my hand in front of my face. Yet, the park ranger flicked a small lighter, which illuminated a large area. There's a sermon illustration there somewhere.

After the tour, we checked into another hotel with a pool. Jared was feeling a lot better today. He had a blast swimming.

After dinner, I took Jared and Abbey to the Jesse James Fun Park for bumper cars. go carts, lifts to the top of a mountain. Also, Jared jumped on a trampoline and climbed a rock climbing wall. This was a lot of fun.

We plan to arrive in Indy tomorrow. Hopefully, we can avoid the severe weather which is further north.
