My weekend was full of first; first walnut tree, first scrapbook page, first this, first that... Another first, and a pretty damn exciting one, is my first trip inside a cave!
On Sunday we took a day trip to Branson, MO to visit Silver Dollar City. It's hard to explain what SDC is exactly, but they have rides, shops, glass blowing, food... those types of things. I have tons of pictures from that day - some of which I will be posting here.
Jacob, Phillip and myself went on 3 roller coasters that day, I LOVE roller coasters more than anything and I jump at the chance to go on one!
They give cave tours which last roughly 45-55 minutes, so we decided to go on one... cause I wanted to go in a cave pretty badly! There is roughly 600 stairs and we ended up about 500 feet below ground! WOW! It's a wet limestone cave and has some of the most amazing formations I've ever seen (not that I've ever seen anything a cave has to offer). It was breathtaking. It was also very dark in the cave, so getting a photo to turn out with my little point and shoot camera was quite hard. I was able to get some:
Here are some more of me in the cave:
'Round about the end of the day I was getting tired... a lot because I had been running around with Phillip and Jacob after going on coasters! Anyhow, we had to return the stroller we got for the kiddos, but before we did I had to pose for a picture, only to have my feet picked up by the kids and pushed/pulled around SDC!!
The picture I posted in this blog was also taken and edited by Renee's father, he was such a treat to get to know!
I had a blast at SDC and going inside the cave is something I won't soon forget. It's amazing to see places outside of Minnesota... flat ol' Minnesota!

I wanna go!!!!!!!!!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! Hope to take you there again, you have to see it at Christmas time, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
No caves for me! I tried once when I was little and my claustrophobia got the better of me. I am a big chicken! SDC looks cool though....
The caves look pretty cool. There is a cave in Wisconsin called Crystal Cave and I don't think it is too far from the MN/WI border around Hudson...maybe 45 minutes? I went there when I was a kid and now you make me want to take another trip there!
