The summer reading program provided tickets of free entry for Grace and Glen to Grand Caverns. So one Saturday we decided to go on an adventure. We forgot coats so we were glad that the caverns had some extra that we could borrow in order to go into the chilly caverns.
Grace loved looking around, but what she loved even more is that she became the tour guide's helper. She helped turn off and on lights as the tour progressed. She was right by his side the entire way and very excited to hear what he had to say.
Among some of the really interesting facts is that this was one of the stops for those fighting in the Civil war. Yes, it was even a tourist attraction even then. The generals and leaders signed their name on the wall of the caves. It is really neat to be in a place so historical and so preserved. Grace still talks about the dark walk that we took in the cave.
There was also a hike right outside of the cave entrance. We did not make it to the top, but it was fun to follow the trail.
