We made it back to American Fork canyon on Sunday this week for our planned hike to Timpanogos Cave. Caleb was just little the last time we braved that hike, so we decided it was time to try it again and take the twins to see it.
We set off for an early morning time slot with our friends, the Jensen's, and we were off. The kids did great considering how far and how steep the trail is. Most of the complaining and frequent water stops came from me. I was reminded from the get-go how out of shape I really am. But we persevered and made it to the top in plenty of time for our tour slot.
We hung out at the top and had a little snack and waited patiently for our time. Then it was go time. Zaric and Caleb went right in without incident but Zaden was scared to death and immediately kept asking to go back out. Some nice people in our tour group gave him a little fake candle to hold and that seemed to help a lot. Poor kid. But we made it through and took lots of pictures of the cool stuff inside.
The hike down was awesome and Faith even fell asleep in the carrier on Dad's back. Zaric had a butterfly land on his hat and we all were relieved and proud of ourselves for making it. We then took the kids for a nice brunch to Village Inn then headed home to relax and stay out of the heat some more.
