Longhorn Caverns

Last Wednesday, Brady turned 4 so we went out to explore! We met Grammy at Longhorn Caverns.  It was really cool and a little creepy!  At some points we were 75 feet below ground.  There were lights that the guide turned on but they were in sections so he would turn them off behind us and you couldn't see anything!  I kept wondering what would happen if there was a power outage.... or if the caves started to collapse... some things are best not to think about! Oh and there is a big gate that locks the caverns- and the tour guide had to unlock it to let us all in and then lock it again behind us- so we were locked it (again a little creepy!)  But it was incredible to see such massive caves and underground formations.

 One of the few bats that still live in the caves- the tour guide said that all the people and frequent tours drove them out.



 Can you find Andy and Brady?
Getting a closer look at all the crystals on the ceiling
 Looks like the ceiling is dripping....

 We made it out!
 Happy Birthday Brady!
