The Cave of the Winds

I mentioned in my last post that there is an awesome hiking trail close to my childhood home. Somewhere along it, there's a cave. We've always called it the Cave of the Winds. I can never find it, but Pop manages to guide Andy and the big kids to the mouth of the cave each time we visit. They LOVE it.

So on Wednesday afternoon, Pop took some time off to make the traditional trek to the cave. It was a monumental task just to find all the gear to keep them warm, since our little Texas family owns no gear of our own. Praise God that Nana keeps a bag with all sizes of mittens, scarves, hats, etc. We finally got everyone outfitted, and Blake HAD to have a flashlight. Where does he get that OC personality? Nana again made a miracle happen when she produced the flashlight, and the gang was off to the cave.

The first two pics below are just inside the cave. The third pic is the climb to the cave. Can you believe my flat-landed kids can hike like that? I'm so proud of them!
