A day of Adventure,,,and I mean Adventure part 2

ok The Blogger and I are not getting along...first I somehow deleted all the rest of the pictures form the last post so that why we have this post...second it won't let me start typing before the pictures this time...every time I try it deletes the first picture. And then it is stupid underlining everything and I don't' want it to!!!! Ok on to this post...the picture about is us starting out on our second adventure...which Terriebeth said was Grandma's adventure...but really she just remembered a arched cave thing and she wanted to find it again and I said I knew where it was. But there is a story I have to tell...we are eating some apples and drinking some water before we start Adventure number 2, then 3 girls and an older man come walking by....the girls are in nice dresses and one in high heels and pulling a rollie suitcase...we just watch them go by and then I say that looks a little fishy...and everyone starts laughing!!! Of course we didn't get any pictures. But we came to the conclusion that he was a photographer and his cameras were in the suitcase. They went a different way than we did, so we will never know for sure. Ok the next picture shows part of the trail we will be on...a lot different from the last post.

Here is the arched cave thing...so grandma's adventure is over ;o) And it wasn't to hard.
In the above picture Grandpa was trying to hide...ooops got ya this time ;o) I also took a picture of Terriebeth and the kids but I must have just used her camera!
John climbed to the top of our arch cave thing can you see that speck on top?

He is right over a little sky light hole thing in the cave...I once again took a picture from that view but it must have been on Terriebeth's camera!!
Looking around on the other side of the cave
The Thirds adventure starts now!
Hummmmm let me see...what looks like a great way to go?
John being brave and jumping when he thought no one was looking ;o) Got cha!!!
And we are off....
The Third and Terriebeth checking out the best route...John well maybe we could go this way, and Grandpa helping Tatem
Ok I said I kept all of the pictures in....this one I'm surprised I left in!!! But wanted you to see what a stressed out, windblown, Grandma looks like!!!
See why there is stress??? Ha,ha,ha!
The route is not as bad as it looked! At least not yet ;o)
Here is another cave...with Grandpa on the edge so they won't fall off going in or coming out of the cave.
A better view of it!
Off we go!! Down, down, down....
And up, up, up!!
Down, down , down....look how pretty it is out there!
Still going down....
This is where we are coming down from..
We found two little cave and Grandpa is trying to scare Tatem by putting his hand in one and out the one she is by!! Yeah didn't work...remember this girl has no fear!!! Ha,ha,ha!
Just playing around!

We were about these two little caves....

Ok that is the end of this post and the end of Adventure number 2 and part way through Adventure number 3....so check back for more fun filled adventures and don't forget to look at Adventure number 1

A day of Adventure....and I mean Adventure!!! Yikes

Well we started off for our Red Rocks adventure day, only to get a call from TJ and Hollie saying they would not be coming, Caleb had got some blisters the day before and was out and out refusing to put on his shoes, and flip flops wouldnot cut in at Red Rocks...so the adventure got a little tougher without the littlest one there. Sorry this is a long post, I couldn't decide which pictures to put in and which to leave out so they all got put in.... Here is The Third waiting for his dad and mom to decide which way we were going.
Ok getting started ....here is Tatem with daddy not far behind
The Third at the top of one of the climbs
John and Terriebeth headed up after him.

The Third still climbing and yes Grandma is freaking out!!....But just wait, it is amazing I survived the day!! Ha,ha,ha!
The Third made it to the top again!!
Little Miss Tatem...I'm going up there too!! Yes Grandma is ready to turn around about now!!!Go back up John I'm coming up too!!!! There is no fear in this girl ;o)
Ok I got my pictures bring them down....not, mom was fine with it all...how can she be my daughter???
This is the cute picture she got...yes it was worth it!!

The Leader of our First Adventure....yikes John's thinking we should go up there!!! Every one's in...except me...but who am I to stop the fun
It doesn't look so bad from here.
Up, Up, Up we go!!!
And up some more!!! Everyone still in one piece!!

Yep you guessed it...we are still going up, and up and up!!

Getting closer...Tatem wanting to do it by herself, no problem!!
Ok we are at the top...now where?? And where is The Third???
I think I spot him...can you???
Here is a better picture just in case you can't find him...as you can see Tatem did ;o)
Did you get the picture???

You thought, (like us), that we were at the top...but guess what...we still get to go up!!
And we're off.....Tim, The Third and John made it in record time...the rest of us were not far behind.
The view...this is the way we came!! Pretty amazing isn't it!!!
This is where we are....nice picture spot, and a chance for grandma to calm her nerves...NOT!!!
Tim strutting his stuff...but of course I miss the best part...one day I will be great with a camera.Ha,ha,ha!!!
Grandpa, The Third and Tatem all take their own rock for a picture!!
The same three only the Third acting goofy this time ;o) and John is in there also.
A close up of Strong The Third and Brave Miss Tatem!!
Ok we better get started again we got a long way to go. Not sure where either kid is...I see Tim, John, and Terriebeth and Maybe The Third...I will have to blow up picture to see if I'm right.
Yeah we get to go down....but down to where and what?? Sure does look pretty though.
What...down lead us to up??? Ok we are game...bring it on!!!
Ok here we go...kids need a help on the first little part but after that they are on their own. Fun!
Still climbing...it was great, I really mean that.
Ok to be honest I haven't started climbing yet!!! I wanted to get every ones picture going up and didn't think there would be a good opportunity for that once I started....so here they all are!!!
Ok we made it to the green trees at the top...it is always amazing to me how out of nowhere you get this beautiful green stuff...ok it was pretty but it looked like holly bushes and it scratched just like holly bushes would. And the spider webs on some of them were crazy BIG!!
Sitting at the top for a look at the view!!! Amazing!!!
Tim enjoying the view...
I think this picture is at the start of the last little climb...not sure how it ended up here.
A funny little level area in the midst of our climb...
Thumbs up if we are having fun!!!
Tim and I in the middle of no where...far away.
Close up..
This is just a little side climb John wanted to try. Fun!!!
At the top...I think a few more than just Grandma were a little nervous up here.
A view from over the side, (in above picture The Third is leaning on a ledge, this is the picture from over that ledge)
Should we climb just a little higher for a family picture?
The camera women went down to capture the shot...in this you can see Terriebeth on the left hand side at the top...John is handing her the kids...there is no where to go but down. Yikes. Tim is waiting for them to get done so he can help the kids down through one part.
