Ape Caves

One of our traditions while camping is to head up to the Mt. St. Helens area and hike the "Ape Caves".  They are actually a series of tunnels created by lava, which are pitch black, wet & dark.  When I was little we always carried flash lights, but this year we had headlamps, which was awesome!

This year it was my mom, Roxanne & Blake, their two boys, plus Josh & I and our three boys.  It was super fun and I am so glad my boys are brave & not afraid, even when we stop in the middle and turn off all the lights to experience total darkness.  Such great adventurers they are!

"Oh darling,

let's be adventurers."
