Tara and the kids and the Kirkhams went to Minnetonka Cave together. Tara got there at 10:30 and had to wait a half hour in line to purchase tickets, then the earliest tickets that were available were for 1:00. They played in the stream and had a picnic to kill time while waiting. Cooper was playing in the stream with his sand castle bucket and lost it. While they were looking for the bucket, the discovered Blue Springs Cave. Everyone but Cooper forgot their jackets, so it was a bit chilly on the cave tour. Everyone had fun on the tour, but they were a bit disappointed that they left Bear Lake at 9:00 and didn't get back until after 4:00.
