Kelly was away on the girls weekend so 3 of the dads met up for lunch (9 kids between us) at one of the local breweries. Man - doesn't that look like a pile of kids!
We have not been to Sisters in a while so with a nice spring day in front of us, we headed over there in the morning. I wanted to find this lava tube cave just out of Sisters back in on some fire roads. It turned out to be a little harder than expected to find it. After about 4 missed turns we finally found it. While trying to find it however we drove on some beatiful back country roads. The picture you see above is Hunter Noah and Abbie with Mt Washington in the backdrop.
This cave has some skylights in it a ways back in that give you some interesting light beams. Due to my bad navigation we were a little later getting there than I wanted so there was only a partial beam coming through one of the skylights but the kids still thought it was way cool. Once back on the surface we hunted along the ground until we could find the holes from the top. After the cave we headed back into Sisters, had a picnic lunch there, grabbed a coffee at Sisters Coffee house and headed back home mid afternoon.
The week was screen free week (no electronics or TV). Our kids' school had activities organized during the week culminating with a Friday night hike. See if you can pick out Kelly and kids. They are on the left side of the picture.
