Friday we woke up bright and early and headed up AF Canyon to Timpanogos Cave. We hiked up and walked through the cave. I have to say that I am TOTALLY out of shape! But, we still made it. In fact on the way down we saw a group at the 1/4 mark who were all young and in shape. No one was huffing or puffing and they were chugging along quite quickly. They commented on how it had only taken them 20 min. to get to the 1/4 mark. Guess what...it only took us 15! Wahoo! I carried London half the way up and then Shane took her the other half. We each took half the cave as well so we could enjoy it without a baby and with. On the way down Max decided he needed carried because it was steep and he said it was making him run (which is against the rules). Shane carried him a little less then half the way down and so I carried London the whole way down. I definately got my exercise!
I will explain some of the pictures: Aidan and Andrew were asked to participate in some of the things in the cave. Here Aidan was asked to lead the group and no one was to pass him. Shane posing. The 3 boys walking in a tunnel. 5 of us in the cave. Aidan being sweet. There was a part that looked wet and slippery and he reached back and grabbed my hand to help me (Awww). All my boys. Me and the kids at the start of the hike. The 3 boys posing on a rock. The whole family. All the boys on the trail.
After lunch all the boys went swimming. London was taking a nap so I stayed home. While they were there they were approached by a photographer from the LDS Church. He had Shane sign a waiver and took pictures of them swimming. The photos will be used on a new church website about families.
After swimming we ate dinner and headed out to Aidan's football practice. After his practice we ended the night by going crawdad fishing! We didn't have much luck, but we had fun. We plan to go again really soon. Andrew commented that this was the best day ever because he got to go through a cave and go crawdad fishing!
