Meramec Caverns

On our way home from Branson we also decided that we would stop at Meramec Caverns.  It was really beautiful and interesting, but with a curious, climbing 3 year old, and a tired 6 month old - it wasn't the best memory we created!

Take a good look at this sweet, happy face...hard to believe that less than five minutes later, he would be leaving his mark on the cave.  Shortly after our guide announced to the group, please no food, drink, or liquids of any kind on the tour; because the wetness can negatively affect the growth of the cave....Brody let about three bottles worth of liquid spill out.  He has never thrown up so much in his life!  I was so embarrassed, but thank God our tour guide had a good sense of humor and announced that the other members of the group watch out for extra calcium deposits!

Stalagtite formations

Landon wore this little light on his head to help him explore the cave.  Ended up more like a necklace, but he thought he was big stuff!
Not supposed to go past these bars, so Landon wanted to do the
next best thing - swing and hang from them.
