"... one of the most exiting times of my life!"

I began a long post about our great adventure in South Austin today ... full of trivia about caves and caving and karst invertebrates and ... well, after reading my 7-year-old's journal entry on the same topic, I think I'll let him tell the story.

I will say this: after the three boys returned from their guided tour of the South Caverns (a couple of us old dads opted for a snooze in the slightly more spacious Travis County Room), they emerged from the passageway exclaiming: "That was the tightest place we've ever come out of!"

A moment of silence, then my brother and I together say: "Second tightest ...."

Here's what it (not the Birth Canal, but some other pieces of our adventure) looked like:

A big thanks to Aimee and Geoff, Patrick and Lauren, for helping make a great day-after-Christmas memory!
