Fun Friday

Spring Break 2010 is drawing to a close. Why not go out in style! We had a very BUSY and very FUN Friday. This is a three part post because we did so much in one day. This year Spring Break flew by. We're not at all ready to head back to school, but we only have 9 WEEKS of school left!
Our Friday started with a dentist appointment (for me) in Sierra Vista at 7 AM. We had gone to bed late the night before so it was a little hard for all of us to get up this morning. After the dentist we called up Uncle Will and Nana and had them meet us out at Coronado National Monument to hike to the cave (again).
This is the decent into the cave. If you look closely at my moms arm you can see a pretty bad scrape. She took a pretty bad fall going in but was a real trooper and ventured onward!
The girls were so excited that Nana was going hiking with us. They just had to show her the couch! We all took a little rest after the hike up.
The Girls. We had so much fun once we were inside the cave. The hike up was tiring but I'm so proud of my mom for sticking with it and making it. I did a lot better this time around. I didn't huff and puff and have to stop near as often as I had to the time before. Will and Catlyn brought up the rear and were awesome at encouraging my mom to keep going. The girls of course lead the pack and set a very fast pace (as always).
Clay is awesome. He gets to hike every day at work so this hike was a piece of cake for him. We love spending time with him. Girls, I love your Dad!
Will and his girlfriend Catlyn made the trip with us this time. I have to say, my little brother has turned out to be a great guy. We enjoyed their company a lot.
We went deeper in the cave this time, all the way to the back. We saw some really cool formations. Most of the ceiling formations have been broken off by people but a few of the larger ones (like this one) are still intact.
There was so much to see. Really amazing rock formations. Made us want to go to Kartchner Caverns again!
Will and his biggest fans. The girls love to do things with Will. They rode around in his truck all day, forget mom and dad when uncle Will is around.
We always stop outside the cave before we head down for a little snack.
The group on the way down. We had a great day and this was just the beginning.
Last but not least, Will and Catlyn. I think she rocks. We had a good time hanging out with both of them. A camping trip is in the works, so get your gear ready Uncle Will.
