We stopped in to see Jewel caves and decided to take the tour. It is a hour and a half walk down in the caves. It was 107 outside and it was a cool 49 degrees in the caves! We loved every minute of it!Here is Mini and Me. I carried her the whole way in her pouch. She slept most of the walk. As she was tired and was in need of a nap when we got there. So she cooled off and went to sleep right away!
Matthew on the walk. He loved it down there. Of course they said do not touch any of the rocks as they stop growing and the first thing he did was touch them. And then got tired of walking so he sat on one!! Poor Dennis almost had a heart attack! He got the joy of carrying Matthew part of the way when he got tired. And then Matthew took a nap too!
The caves stay 49 degrees year round no matter the temperatures above ground. We were 700 feet below ground for our tour. You take an elevator down. When we went in the cave was inhaling and when we left the wind had changed and it was exhaling.
It was a neat cave to see and we plan a return trip next time we go out.
