The Ape Caves

Saturday Morning -
Ah, it was beautiful and peaceful. After we had all woken up at a leisurely hour, we read a chapter in Exodus, and left with whole wheat rolls and Pam Tarts to head to The Ape Caves - we left our house at about 8:30am (almost an hour after we had "originally" spoken of).

We went here:



Whoops! We weren't here. It just looked like we were. :)

We went here to The Ape Caves:




We tried to get pictures inside, but the lighting was being difficult.

Windy Ridge: After we had tramped around the Ape Caves for a couple of hours, we headed out to Windy Ridge. It was a beautiful drive. 

The panorama view from one of the stops.
Upon arrival at Windy Ridge, we noticed a ginormous staircase leading up a hill and were soon mounting it. 440+ steps (actual steps up, not just walking) later, we reached the top. It was such a beautiful view from there - just look! As mumsie would say, "And we live here!"


At Windy Ridge


The drive back was quiet and peaceful - I'm sure that has nothing to do with how many people were sleeping...
Middle Row
The driver was NOT sleeping...
Yes, you do see a clothespin on Emily's hair.








Hope you all had a fantastic Saturday! We certainly did. :)

    Wow, looks like fun! I love the panorama view, it's lovely! :)
    Hmm, looks like somebody might have been just a wee bit bored. As in, deciding to clothespin certain someones... ;)
    Glad ya'll had fun! :)

    Hey Rachel,
    Guess what? We got to go to the Ape Caves today! :D It was so nice and cool down there! A great relief from the hot sunny weather! :)
    We only got to go through the "easy" tunnel, but it was lots of fun!
    (we're planning on going back and do the "harder" tunnel soon!) :)
    And when we go back, we're hoping to go to Windy Ridge! :D
    Did you get to do both tunnels? Also, did you see the "meatball"? We did, it was cool! :)

      The ape caves sounds beautiful today! We went on the "easy" tunnel (yes, we did get to see the meatball:). We attempted the "harder" one, but we took a wrong turn and came to a dead end.
      Windy Ridge is great and a beautiful drive.

      The meatball was kinda cool wasn't it?
      I think Josh said that ya'll are planning on going back to do the "harder" one. Are you? If you are, maybe we can all go together!
