Crystal Cave

I just don't know how this much time has passed already but..... We went to Crystal Cave over two weeks ago already. WOW. On the Wednesday prior, Alex saw a billboard for it as we were heading to the Farmer's Market downtown. After talking if over with Bob, we decided Alex could take a friend and we would go Saturday after I was done with work. Bobber later decided he didn't want to go saying, "if you've seen one hole in the ground....." And, while it was interesting, this cave did lack a little compared to Ruby Falls in Tennessee. Ruby Falls is the largest underground waterfall in the US. Simply amazing. So, back to Crystal Cave. We did learn facts about bats, which do not live there in the summer. Whew! And, the girls panned for gems after the tour. That was way cool. After panning and shopping for fudge, which was way too good, we went to the a Creamery and purchased squeeky fresh cheese curds. Yummy! It was a fun afternoon. I don't think we'll have to go back in the near future but it was something to check off the list. Next maybe we'll visit the House on the Rock. lol

Looking for gems. Both of them found some nice gems. I think I was more excited about the panning than actually going into the cave.
