GOLD!!!! Or something like that


Boy, when I think about it we did alot last weekend...so much that I am still reporting on it and it is already almost this weekend.

While waiting for Bevo, we were about 30 minutes early, we thought about going into the cave, but when we went in to pay it would have been over $50 to take the four of us into the cave. I think you can see Carlsbad Caverns for cheeper and based on the pictures posted outside InnerSpace Caverns and the fact that it is right off the freeway, I think we will wait for Carlsbad. Anyhow, to pass the time we decided we would pay the $5 to buy a bag of "sand" which had all sorts of "precious stones" in it. You then go outside and "pan" for these "precious stones". It will keep the kids happy for thirty minutes. So here are some pictures of Emily panning, Jacob showing what he found and my hand full of the "precious stones" that we discovered in our bag 'o sand.

The kids had a great time and we will probably go back, someday, when we have hit the lottery. And yes father, I know it is a tax on the stupid.

we have not been very impressed with inner space caverns either. i wasn't aware that it was so expensive though. on the other hand, the kids would love it no matter what cause they're kids. so do it if you can afford it, or just go to the park. :)

I like the "gold-panning".
