Last night we went to Ruby Falls. I didn't research this one very well... I didn't realize, until after we spent $37 on tickets, that this involved an hour and twenty minute, 1000 feet underground, one mile walking tour. Since Kate is afraid of everything these days, I was afraid we'd ride the elevator down and get stuck walking a mile with a screaming baby and hysterical toddler. Kate wasn't too sure about it at first. She really loves tunnels these days though, so we told her she was in a big "tunnel" and then she was happy. Luckily, as soon as we started walking, Elliott conked out in the baby carrier. She stayed asleep for the entire tour. Poor Matt got the bad end of this deal. His back was sore after helping someone move on Friday-- carrying Kate and Elliott the whole mile through the cave did not help it!
Kate wanted to touch everything! After we got back to the hotel, she spent the whole night saying "I touched it, tunnel". If only bedtime had gone as smoothly as the underground cave tour...
