A school of fish: Lehman Caves

We've been to Lehman Caves before but it's been years! It's three hours away from here and not on the way to anything, so it's a whole-day trip it's hard to find time for. But it seemed like it would be a worthwhile field trip for this unit, so we found a way to make it work. Sam came with us (I'd been prepared for him not to, but was really glad he did!) and even Sebastian said he was up for it! Malachi had to work, sadly. But I rustled up a passable picnic and the rest of us set out early in the morning!

Along the way we were stopped by a police car (driving straight toward us, against traffic, in the wrong lane, which was unnerving!) who had us pull off the road to let a few oversize load trucks go by. They were carrying dump truck beds for the copper mine dump trucks, I think! This picture doesn't even show how big it was.

These two cuties! They love each other.

Clementine looked so cute in her bunny coat.

The cave was great, as always. One of the prettiest caves I've ever been to. It puts Timpanogos Cave to shame! (Sorry, Timp Cave.) We were hoping to see bats, and there were some bats there, but I didn't personally see them. I think Daisy saw one!
