I haven't posted forever! Even my husband is asking me when I am going to update the blog. We have had a busy month (November) and I know that it will only be busier this month so I better catch up now so that I can try to keep up this month. In the middle of November we had a Saturday free (Amazing!) so we decided to take the kids to Craters of the Moon.
I hadn't been there since I was a kid and Len didn't remember ever being there. I remembered a cave that we walked through that wasn't too dark and they let you walk all the way through the cave to the end and then there was a hole at the other end that you could climb through. For some reason this really stuck with me and I thought my kids would like it. 
The cave is actually called Indian Tunnel and they did like it. The caves are actually lava tubes where the lava used to flow. 
The place is pretty desolate but it was still pretty interesting and the kids loved looking down into volcanoes (inactive ones of course!)
Plus, it's a national landmark and so close to us so we had to try it out. We were only there about 3 hours and that was just about right. It was good to spend time with each other. Kanyon continues to have trouble "walking". 
Not really -- he just doesn't like it. It's funny because Kaydra could walk or hike all day but as soon as we were about 100 yards from the truck Kanyon started complaining that it was too far and that his legs were tired. Honestly, we could still see the truck and the walk (on paved sidewalk) was only 1/2 mile total. How did my husband have a kid like that? I guess he takes after me more than him. Leonard told him that he won't be able to go hunting with him unless he learns to walk farther. I don't think Kanyon cares at this point. Maybe when his legs get a little longer. We'll see.

Kanyon so cracks me up! It's like Frankie having a boy who didn't play the guitar!!! What's up with that? I think we really get children to teach us.
