Carlsbad Caverns

We had some time to kill today while attending a missions conference so we decided to visit Carlsbad Caverns here in NM. I hadn't been to a cave since the spring family vacation of 1994. Well overdue for another experience, eh?? :)

 Getting ready to enter!!!

 Nice!!!

 ........and dark.

You're not allowed to use strollers in the cave, but Hubby and I braved it with the kiddos anyway. Poor Clay was unsure from the start and REFUSED to walk. Hubby and I took turns carrying him the rest of the way and I'm proud to say that we made it safely all the way to the bottom ( BTW.....Hubby already had one child in a carrier and I had my pregnant belly self ). We did, however, ride the elevator back up to the top. :)-

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!!

Had a "book party" today for the kiddos. Lots of fun and good eats! :)

Special thanks to Pinterest for the neat-o ideas!
