We headed up to Cedar Mountain Friday after work, my dad had gone up Wednesday to get the perfect spot for us! Kasey and his family came down late Friday night too so that was fun for the kiddos. We just got settled in on Friday and went to bed, most everyone was in the trailer, Nick was in back of the truck, my dad and I each had a tent we opted to stay in!
Saturday morning we headed to Mammoth Caves and went through a couple of them. It was pretty crazy being in there, the kids went with us through the first one and it got pretty squishy trying to get out but we made it! The second one the kids stayed out with gma and gpa and it's a good thing because we were army crawling through the last half. It was awesome and we all got muddy!
After the caves we found Mammoth Springs and the boys had a water fight and grandpa told the grandkids he'd buy ice cream if they all got in the water... it was FREEZING cold but they all did it! Brooklin and Mason had stripped to their undies and Jackson was running around in his diaper!

We headed back for ice cream and camp after awhile - Kasey and Nick went fishing while grandpa, Mason and myself went on a 4 wheeler ride over to Doug and Vicki's place. I think the rest of them took a nap! That night for dinner we had yummy navajo tacos and then we had to bust out the mega huge marshmellows for smores!

Sunday we went to the ice cave but there was no ice but it was still cooler down in the cave. We hiked up to Cascade Falls - gma stayed with Addi, Jackson and Mason. We made it to the top and Brooklin even hiked up there, I was so proud of her!
We stopped along the stream by Duck Creek Village and had a picnic on the way home. The kids threw rocks in the stream and we enjoyed being outside in the nice fresh air.
Kasey, Nick, Meridee, Grandma and the kids went fishing before dinner... the mighty fishermen didn't catch anything the entire weekend. Better luck next time!
Monday morning we all headed home fairly early... Grandma and Kirstin stayed to go on a 4 wheeler ride with Grandpa before coming home. Grandpa stayed another day to avoid all the traffic going home on Monday. We had a fun weekend and yummy food which is a bonus - the kids were in heaven playing with Addi and Jacks and being covered in dirt all weekend! Here are a few random shots...
