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.

How fun... we used to do that when I was kid. My mom always felt the same way as you! I remember my dad would always have us turn OFF our flashlights to see how absolutely dark it is down there.

It sure does look like fun! I can't wait til my hubby is finished with uni for the year as he has had NO time to spend with us lately. He's really missing out on the fun things we do and how special it is just to do the everyday things with our little man. Hopefully closer to Christmas we can embark on a few adventures like this one!

Looks like a great time and adventure for the guys! The shots are wonderful - totally agree on the last photo. The underground would make a perfect journaling space!

How awesome! I have very fond memories of my dad and me going on adventures to the lava tubes up at Mt. St. Helens. I would definately love to see how the page for this story comes out. Awesome inspiration.
