We made it to Carlsbad Caverns this afternoon and the kids were blown away. We took the elevator in so Maw Maw could come into the cave with us. The kids completed the Jr Ranger program for the park. Aside from the cave we were treated with blooming cacti, lizards, deer, and a herd? of mountain goats holed up in a small cave (my favorite and something I have always wanted to hunt).
Going from 6% humidity on the surface to 96% underground and then back to 6% was a system shock.
Very happy that we were able to share this experience with each other. As further testament to the spectacle of this park.... My 12 year old smiled without prompting.
