I wanted to do 
something with the kids this spring break so I thought going to the Ape caves would be a great idea...... well if you don't mind being 
soaked then I guess it was. We arrived to about 46 degree temperatures. the caves felt about the same. I was a little 
shocked that the water could make it's way through the
 lava and drench us about the same as being outside standing in the rain.
 We did the 3/4 mile
 trail which was probably the better choice due to the weather. If you have never been inside a cave than you cannot really prepare yourself for the absolute 
darkness that 
encompasses you. You realize how much light the moon and
 stars actually give when you get past a certain point in the
 cave where light does not flow in.

 Andrew and Jenna enjoyed being explorers!

We finally made it to the top to be greeted by
 SNOW!!! We had a great time considering we were all wet, tired and cold.

Sounds miserable. hahah. Well that's just me. Drenched, dark, and cold?? nuh uh. I'm sure it will be a great experience to put in your kids' memory banks though.
