We decided to spend a week of Track Break up at the cabin. To make sure the van was up for the trip we had the brakes worked on the week before, but that resulted in the van shaking every time we went over 60 miles/hour. We got new tires and tried to head off on Monday - more shaking! We took it back to the brake shop and to the tire shop with no luck. Finally we took it to our regular mechanic. He took until the next day to figure out what was wrong, but finally figured out the brake shop had put on the wrong size drums. we are now engaged in a war with Just Brakes, trying to get our money back! We got our car back Tuesday around 5:00 p.m. We picked up the twins and headed out of town a little after 6:00.
The van was pretty crowded. Mini-vans just don't have enough storage space!

On Wednesday morning, we took the kids to Mammoth Caves. Some of the caves were blocked off, so people won't disturb bat procreation. We stuck to the open caves.
I went with the kids through the biggest cave. We didn't have the best flashlights, so it got rather dark. I bumped my head pretty hard. The cave had a nice, soft dirt floor and you could walk through it with just stooping over - until about half way through!
All of a sudden, the ceiling got so low you had to crawl on your hands and knees and the floor got really rocky (my poor shins and knees!). I think I am getting too old for things like that. When we got out, the bigger girls went through again while Dave, the littler kids, and I hiked around a bit.
