Stay-Cation DAY THREE was physically challenging to say the least. Our family drove to American Fork Canyon and hiked the strenuous 1.5 mile - uphill trek to Mt. Timpanogas Caves. The journey up the mountain was felt by each one of us. All of the kids went through times of great "SPIRIT" as Milo would say, to times when they thought they just couldn't go on.
When we reached the cave entrance - our strange Tour Guide (Milo called him the Inspector), began to guide us through the first of 3 caves - all connected by tunnels. In the "Middle Cave", Charles, our guide, turned out the lights to give us an opportunity to see how really dark the caves are. Well, that didn't sit too well with the Mozaffari children. Playing off of each other - each took their turn waving through panic attacks. It was funny - but I sure was glad when the lights went back on. Needless to say - they couldn't wait to finish the rest of the tour and get out. Daylight and fresh air was entirely new to them after exiting the caves.
We had to just make the hike back down - you would think that would be easy. Yeah right! Two of our three children had to pee the entire way down. When we got back home - we all CRASHED!

We know only too well about the middle cave - Cameron was none too happy with us and our tour guide after he turned out the lights. That hike is a killer! I'm glad all of you made it back to lower ground...what a great idea to stay close to home and enjoy what Utah has to offer!
I can see the scare look on all the kids' faces!.....lol
Oh my gosh what a great memories you created that day! lol I can just see the kids freaking out =)
