Mom says, "No thanks, but you go have fun."

We spent some time this past weekend in central Oregon.

On Saturday Chris & Simon did some serious adventuring down into a lava cave (Boyd Cave - they are actually lava tubes). Not being a fan of dark, cold enclosed spaces I decided to pass on this one and sent them on their way. 

They had a great time. Simon loved it (he also loved that he got to pick out a new flashlight to bring home). Chris loved it because Simon loved it. I think they would have even spent more time down there if they would have had more gear (helmets, gloves, etc.). 

 
I'm thinking this shot underground would be a perfect home for writing the story of their adventure.

And I'm looking forward to doing a layout that juxtaposes an above ground shot and a below ground shot. I love how Chris captured the scene (vs. just a close up of Simon's face) in all three of these photos.
