Fourteenth Passage

Last weekend we took the kids to Kuna cave. We bought them all flashlights, and tried to get them excited, and met up with my brothers' family. 

The one problem with the Kuna cave is that you have to climb a large ladder into a giant black pit. It can be scary for the kinds of kids that get scared. We have two such kids among us. 

Morgan wasn't one of them. He did great.

 I carried Lydia down, and she did fine. But William and Owen were very nervous about the ladder. I took Owen down, and David followed with William. It was kind of comical how they screamed and/or cried the whole way down the ladder.
But once in the cave they were fine.

Lydia got a flashlight to hold, but most of the time she held it like pictured below. Didn't help much.

 Owen stuck with Daddy for the first half, but soon grew more confident and followed the bigger kids around.

 Morgan and William climbed up into this little niche. They are in the back.

Going back up the ladder was another ordeal for the boys, be we eventually all made it out. Then we played at my brother's house and had a great time.
