A Mammoth of a Trip!!

Some Smiley's got together at Mammoth Cave in Cave City, Kentucky.

(Mark, Bryce, Kat, Joe, Karen, Gage, Luke, Mark, Emma, Kadence, Marta, Jeremy, Shannon holding Cole, & Kane)

While some of us camped we did decide to get purty....

(Kadence painted Gramarta's fingernails and Emma's were just done)

Some of us HUNG out...

(Jeremy with Cole)

Some strutted our stuff...

(Karen after Emma and Kadence were done after the makeup party)

Others cooked....

(Shannon helping to finish the carmel apples)

While others sat and watched the people go by...

(Kat & Cole before our stroll through Mammoth Cave)

Do you see the giant's coffin?

Do you see the bear? Kat saw a panda bear while everyone else saw a bear on the right attacking the founder of the cave....

Side Saddle Pit (we think)

Bottomless Pit

uh oh

let's just say some of us polish the cave better than others.

We had a really good time and enjoyed the family and sights. The Krueger's showed up and set up camp. Then the Caudle's came and cousins from Bedford Shannon and Jeremy and their two.Marta and Kane swept in and then Erik and Nikki from Hopkinsville came and let us help celebrate their 1st anniversary plus let us keep Cole overnight. Yeah!! There was quite a crew there. Nothing quite like family.
