Mt. Timpanogas Caves

So, I'm going in reverse order of our summer. Monday of this week I decided that my kids needs one last big adventure before school started. I told my asst. coach I was missing practice, loaded up the kids and head to American Fork Canyon to hike Mt. Timp. This was inspired by my dear friend, Harmony, who did it with her children 2 weeks ago. On a side note, she has 2 kids ages 7 3/4 and 4 3/4 and her spouse went with. I have three kids, one being a terrible two year old and no spouse. However, we hiked the 1.5 miles, even Kyson, did the caves and had an amazing trip. The kids complained, almost the entire hike up, but once inside the caves, they LOVED it. Gavin thought it was cool all the different formations and colors. Jaycee liked seeing the pink crystals and Ky was just happy to be there. It took us 1 hour and 40 minutes to reach the caves 1 1/2 hours in the cave and 30 minutes to get down. I'm glad the downhill was only 30 minutes, because Ky fell asleep and I had to carry him down. In the process I tweeked my knee and yesterday and today my hips have been KILLING me. I'm 30, I shouldn't feel like I'm 92!!!! Anyway, it was a great adventure and one more thing to cross off of my bucket list to do with my kids!!!
