The Dollhouse: Ice caves

Our days are so full I haven't had time to post. Here is a condensed version of what's been going on.

We went to Rexburg for Seb's 20th High School reunion. He has the greatest friends it and was fun to meet all the people I have been hearing stories about for years. And can I just say it was so nice to get out! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for partying the girls. But before the reunion we went to the ice caves outside of Rexburg. We had never been there but should have know "ice" implies cold and the baby was wearing a sundress so we were a little under dressed, but it was still fun.

Here is Grandma sliding the baby along on her diaper. There are ruts in the ice for your buns almost like a water slide so you stay on course.

In some places the ice is 10 or more feet deep. It is only about as cold as a walk in refrigerator so it was actually really nice. And so pretty! Ice hangs off the ceiling and covers the ground. This is when I suddenly wished I knew a lot more about my camera so I could try and capture how neat it is down there.

This is the one part that requires a rope. And probably a helmet. On the way back out Grandpa Mike was sitting on the top of the mountain getting ready to help the little girls and fell over backwards. All we heard was his scream then silence as he fell out of sight. Seb rushed over to him and told him not to move (he was upside down and bleeding from his head). All the girls started crying even though they and Grandma couldn't see him. I really started to worry when I watched Seb take off his shirt to make a head wrap. Seb got Mike back on his feet and we all started, more slowly, back up. Suzi didn't even realize he had a head wound till we got back to the car where it was light. Then she asked "Mike what's on your head?" Then they drove the hospital for some stitches. I guess now we are glad we didn't let her know because there was nothing she could do down in the cave anyway.
