Into the Depths...

We had a fun trip to Silver Dollar City this weekend! We finally made it down into Marvel Cave below the park (where all the tourism business began for SDC). 500 feet down through a cavern large enough to hold a 20 story building, called 'the cathedral.' They actually inflated 3 hot air balloons inside this space years ago and still had lots of space. Then an hour wandering through passageways and caverns. Not all of the kids were overjoyed at this trek, but it was amazing to see. You might be able to tell by some of the faces in the pictures which kids were feeling a little 'batty' by the end of the adventure.
It all came out okay in the end though, since Hannah got to meet Curious George in the park (and Daddy got to eat some great barbeque!).
