Timpanogos Cave

A week or so after Julie (the Lehmitz's foreign exchange student from Denmark) arrived, we took her on an excursion to Timpanogos Cave. Will and I jumped at the chance because he had never been. Sad, really, to have lived in Utah all your life and never experienced Timp!
Will was a manly man this time and took Cole up to the top. Although it was only a mile  climb, the incline was quite steep. We nearly killed some members of Will's family. 
Just taking a break. 
This is one of my favorite pictures of the midget. You can see how sweaty his helmet made his head. I just want to pinch those cheeks!
Cole was a bit dumbfounded by the flash.
We took tons of pictures inside the caves, but most look like grotesque fungal growths. If you really want to see a show, go climb the mountain. It's worth it. 
The gang on the way down. I had to pause and nurse Cole by the bathrooms. Nothing like the aroma of pit toilets to excite a child's stomach. Mmmm... the trail was closed off there so it provided a little privacy. Ah, the joys of motherhood. 
We love National Parks and Monuments!
