Melanie is Here...and 30!

Birthday's?  I love them!  This year is no exception.  The girls at work were super sweet.  We had a pizza party and they even got me a cake!  Thumbs up!

Andy got me a dozen balloons.  So much better than a dozen roses!  It helped us keep track of Kiko throughout the night.

I set up a photo booth.

I think it worked out OK.

It was such a great day.

The night was filled with smiles and balloons.

Adventure Time with Melanie and Jurine!

!

I went to Arkansas to see Jeri and Steve.  It was so great!  Monday the 2nd of April Jeri and I went to The Cosmic Cavern.  It was a limestone cave in the Ozark Mountains.  The cave was far from pristine.   There was a lot of Quartz mining, and when the cave first opened, they would burn tires to smoke out the bats!  So there was a lot of black soot on the walls too.  But there was a lot of cave to explore! 

 All cave photos look the same to me, It's hard to tell the scale of things.  In this particular cave after hours you could come back and go on a "wild cave tour" you would have your own miners lamp and you needed to be prepared to get muddy!  You got to explore the un-developed parts of the cave.  So cool!  Maybe next time.

After the cave we went and had an awesome lunch in Eureka Springs.  We both had Avocado sandwiches with sprouts, and lots of other veggies.  It was so great! Then we hit some really tacky gift shops and headed home and the twisty windy roads of the Ozark Mountains.
