The Sonora Caverns and Logan's Birthday

For Logan's birthday this year, I decided to take him to see the Sonora Caverns. They are about an hour and a half hour drive from here and were so worth it! It is said to be one of the most decorated caves and there really were just the most amazing sights everywhere you looked. I wish I had a better camera because everything turned out looking the same color. It was so much more impressive in person. 

PS. March is also known as Mustache March in the Air Force and that is why Logan has one in all these pictures. He has promised that as soon as April comes it is gone! The amazing thing is that this is only 9 days of growing one and he by far has the best one of all the other boys in his class. So, even though we are both not a fan, it is a good bonding experience with the other guys in his class and that's a good thing. Go Logan! 

Waiting to go on the tour! 

The pic on the Left is what geodes look like when they form and the left pic is an example of what they call cave popcorn. 

The ones on the left are called clubs. 

This was called the Christmas Room. It was beautiful! I think that this was both Logan and my favorite. 

On the right the thing hanging from the ceiling are called straws because they are long a hallow. The longest one is 8 feet! 

There was not a lot of water in the cave but I thought that this was just beautiful!

Examples of what they call fish tales.

Some really big formations and some people in our tour.

More cool formations. 

I was pretty impressed with how beautiful the world is that Heavenly Father made for us. And just like us, it is beautiful inside and out :)

For Logan's birthday I made him ribs and mashed potatoes for dinner. I also made him a special cake this year. Usually, we do a strawberry ice cream cake for him but I decided to surprise him with something a little different this year.

 I made him a Snickers Ice cream cake with a peanut butter brownie crust! Let me just assure you, it was really, really yummy! Logan liked it a lot too! 

For his presents Logan got some new running shoes (that he loves), some camping stuff, a book and a big bag of peanut M&Ms but I think my favorite thing that I got him was his belt buckle! Now that we are Texans I thought it was appropriate. And doesn't he look good in it! I love that whenever he is not in his uniform, he wears it now.
