Mammoth Caves and yummy food

This morning we drove to the caves and got set up with a historical tour. Our tour guide was Ranger Joel. He was funny and made the tour interesting. The cave itself was amazing. It was had some really big "rooms" that were impressive. (hence the name mammoth caves) It also had a really fun windy, narrow, low ceiling path (one of the few places I had to duck) They called that section "fat man's misery". My favorite part in the cave was this part where you could look up and up without seeing the ceiling it was so high, and then you looked down right next to the path and there was a hole that went down even farther. They built a staircase there and that's how we climbed up out of the caves. I was happy mom and Tait came this time. It's more fun with more people ooing and ahhing. I tried to take some pictures but it was dark In the caves and the camera made it look even darker, so you can't really see the awesomeness.

We drove a little more and got ourselves close to the Bowling Green.

I finished the book I started yesterday while Tait read aloud "Tales of Ancient Egypt". He also read us some poetry during lunch.

For dinner we went to a very busy restaurant and got some Kentucky food. It was all really good. It was funny hearing everyone around us had an accent.
