TIMPANGOS CAVE (spelling?)

So today we went with Rob's family to hike up to timpangos cave!! We had it planned like 2 weeks in advance because you have to make reservations! So we are heading down there and I realize that I left my camera at home!!!!! So mad!!! So i dont have any pictures for you, but let me tell I need to go back to get pictures cause it was so amazingly beautiful! Anyway back to my story. So we get there and Rob is back packing it Baylee and I have Ethan, which was fun...10 extra pounds I get to hike up the mountain! So its perfect weather hiking up its cool and overcast, maybe a few sprinkles but nothing bad. We get up to the cave and Rob says "Just wait its nice now, but when we get out its gonna be a down pour and we will have to hike down in that!" So we go in and see the awesome cave, seriously way cool. If ya havent done it before ya need to! Well we get out of the cave and luckliy we see no rain, but the clouds are getting darker and they're heading our way. Plus we can hear thunder off in the distance! Well we are about 3/4 of the way down and it starts raining not too bad, we can handley this drizzle the whole way down! We get to the 1/2 way point and the heavens opened and complete downpour on us i mean pelting rain!! I start running down i cover ethan up with my jacket, im getting drenched from head to toe. My shoes are soaked through and they are squishy, the thunder was so loud and the lightening was cool (glad it wasnt close). So needless to say we made it down to the vistors center, but were completely drenched. So then Rob tells me that there was a rock slide up close to the cave and it would take 4 hours to clean it up!! So those poor people who were still up there going through the cave had to wait up there until they got it taken care of!! Crazy, so glad we got out when we did!! Anyway that was our fun adventure and I love it. It will be a good memory for us! Baylee was so good the whole time even though she got drenched she loved it!!
I love that we can have fun times like these with people that we love!!
ps.
I wish i had pictures!! SORRY!!

Haha! I can picture you running down with Ethan! If it rained down there like it did here, you must have been soaked! Glad you made it ok. :)
