One of Dave's Adventures

Taylor called Dave at work on a Friday and said "Dad lets go get McDonalds fur (that is how Taylor says for) dinner and then go for a hike." Dave agreed. In my motherly mind I thought we would probably go to a park with picnic benches eat some McDonalds and then go for nice leasure walk. Sometimes I forget who I am married to!

Dave send me a email later that afternoon it said....

Oh great what is he going to make us do? What does he have planned? We just wanted a hike! I went into a panic and was not sure what to do, but decided to go with it and have fun.

We showed up at 5pm and Dave had McDonalds. We drove a few miles up the road and pulled off at a hiking trailhead.

Lana loved the cheeseburger. Don't be deceived by her tiny body. This girl can eat!

We then hiked only 100 yds to Tori Cave. Taylor and Dave went down in and after about 10 feet Taylor was not so sure about it anymore and they came back out. Then Taylor wanted to take me down so we went the same 10 feet and came back out. Then Dave adventured to the end of the cave. Taylor thought it was so awesome. After exploring the cave we went for a hike and enjoyed Conneticuts beautiful nature. Thanks for great hike Dave!
