Blanchard Springs Caverns

On Mother's Day before we left Mountain View, we went to Blanchard Springs Cavern. It is in the Ozark National Forest and they have cave tours, campsites, fishing, swimming and hiking trails. I took tons of pictures here because everything was so beautiful, I couldn't resist!

This one was on the trail as we headed to the spring where the water come out of the mountain.


The boys loved climbing the rocks and crossing the creek.

And here is the spring!


Austin and Kamden trying to see how close they could get!!


Austin took our picture. He did pretty good. :)


After we saw the spring we followed the creek to the lake and dam.


Beautiful!!



This is Austin looking over the edge of the dam.


This is what he saw:


He had many different ideas about what kind of skeleton that was and how the person/animal died. :) He insisted that I take this picture.

Now on to the Cave Tour:







Posing for pictures...and not very happy about it. :)






Look at their faces. I tried the guilt trip about it being Mother's Day but it didn't work. HA!





That's the end of our weekend trip to Mountain View. Now you can see why the boys are dying to go back. We had SO much fun!
