Bear Lake

The kids were pretty good in the backseat.  In fact I commented to Manda a couple of times when they were extremely LOUD,  "at least they aren't fighting" :)

We got to Minnetonka Cave about 11:45 am, and the sign on the ticket office said "Selling tickets for the 2pm tour !  Holy Smoke :(  Luckily we were able to get in on the 1pm tour because of a cancellation.  The kids ate their left over pancakes from McDonalds (we had stopped in Evanston), and also had fun watching the chipmunks that were running all around. 

At the entrance to the cave - we were glad we had jackets !  Cam's legs got a little cold, but they all held up well during the 90 minutes tour.  

We were first in line, and we had the cutest tour guide.  If you know Treyson at all, you know he asked the VERY MOST questions on the tour.  Tagg was a close second, and Cam, a distant third :)

Cam and Manda

Touching the ONLY StalagMITE that they were allowed to touch. 

On the way home we stopped along side of the road for a quick dip in the lake.  It is SO shallow, quite a way out from the shore.  It was really refreshing.  Even I got in :)

Treyson tried to freak me out with his PRETEND DROWNING - but the smile gave him away :)

On our way out of Laketown, we stopped to get us each a shake.  Manda went in to get them, while I stayed in the car with the kids.  On the way back out, balancing FIVE SHAKES, she dropped one of them, and then proceeded to smear the 4 others on her CHEST as she bent to pick up the one that fell.  It was pretty funny, and we laughed and laughed about it.  She was sure a GOOD SPORT !!  It was a great day :)
