Pop will be off on vacation when Father's Day rolls around, so we spent a very special day with him today. We took him to eat brunch at Cracker Barrel and then took him for the cave tour at Rickwood Caverns State Park. It was a great way to beat the heat! Dennis enjoyed the cave, though a little less so when the tour guide informed us that he'd be turning off the lights to let us experience total darkness. He said a few times "Tour Guide, I don't want you to turn off the lights please" and when he actually was about to do it, Dennis pleaded his case again and the guide said how he hated to be the bad guy. The lights were out less than a minute before the flashlight came on and Dennis giggled. He said he loved the cave but said "it was just a little bit spooky in there." He also told us "there are MILLIONS of caves--there are just hundreds of them out there" when we were on our way to the park.
We intended to go and find some geocaches but deemed it just too hot, so we instead decided to go and enjoy some ice cream from Coldstone Creamery. Wow how delicious and decadent! On the way home, Dennis kept blowing loud raspberries and we finally decided to ignore him after pleading for him to stop. After we didn't say anything for a while, he announced "I am bothering the driver!". We noticed.
We had such fun today and we sure hope that Pop did too!
