Hanging Out With The Hopfers

On the way to the elevator, we just had to climb on the stones lining the walkway.

Waiting in line to go down into the cavern. You had to take an elevator it was so deep. It was a glass elevator so you could see all the rock.

Dallin and Gretchen checking out all the "cool" rocks.

Dallin with a LONG stalagtite.

In the cavern. It was very tight in alot of places. Grammer would not have liked it. I even got a little claustorphobic, and panicky.

Someone wrote their name here. Can you tell who? Was it him or an imposter?

A picture of Ruby Falls which is inside a cavern. They do not know where the water comes from, but it empties into the Chattahoochee River.

The boys in the cave, all smiles here.

After the tour of Ruby Falls Caverns.

Do not scare me....WELL, you do not scare me either. Who will back down first?

The boys buring their hands on the HOT binoculars.

Happy Birthday to Dallin!
For Dallin's 7th birthday we had him invite a couple of friends to the pool for some swimming, snacks, and shark cupcakes. They all had a blast swimming, and loved the shark head hats, and snap pops we played with. Dallin said he had a GREAT birthday, and must have thanked Rich and I 10 times. He said it was his best ever. He even got great surprises in the mail from the grandparents. New video game player, and all the star wars legos a boy could want. Plus he managed to rake in about $80. Some birthday!
