Ruby Falls

Yesterday, Alex called me and said he wanted us to take the kids to Ruby Falls after he got done working. WHAT? Yes, he and I had talked about this and other places we'd like to take them while we were on our trip last week. Did I expect that he'd want to go so soon? No, but I told him that I had a few things I had to do first in Mt Juliet then I'd meet him at home. Shortly after lunch, we headed out. The kids were excited about their "surprise". Maddie kept saying that we were going to see a "water fountain". She just would not say water fall for anything.

The kids did great going into the cave and they both loved looked at all the stuff different formations and stuff. HOWEVER, once we got to the water fall it was a completely different story. To say they both freaked out would probably be an understatement. They were hysterical. For those of you that haven't been there, when you first walk up, the lights are out and then they turn them on. You would have thought they were being beat the way they were acting. I had both of them in my arms and they were still crying. It was awful. Once the lights came on and they could see again, they were fine. How strange?!

On the way out of the cave, Maddie got a little impatient because she had already seen this stuff and just wanted to go. It was an hour tour and that is a little long for her to be good. LOL. All and all, it was a nice little adventure!!
