My mom was nice enough to drive down to visit us for the weekend. My birthday was yesterday so she wanted to come down to babysit so Rick and I could go out. This was MUCH appreciated because we never go out without the kids. No family around sure makes it hard to have date nights. After church this morning we decided to drive down to Sweetwater and go to the "World's Largest Underground Lake". We got to walk through a cave that was mined long ago for saltpeter to make gun powder during the Civil War. At the bottom of the cave is a 4 acre lake full of rainbow trout. The lake is 70 feet deep and has caverns that go at least 800 feet into the cave but they don't know how much further they go. Explorers have not been able to go any further than that because this is all their equipment would allow. They still are not sure how large the water filled caverns actually are.
This sweet little kitten was hanging around the village and the employees were trying to get someone to take it or it was going to have to go to the shelter. It took everything I had not to take this little guy home. He snuggled right up in my lap when I went to pet him.
