Ice Cave Hike ~ Mama's Camera

Mother Nature played a little April Fool's joke on us yesterday and dumped a couple of inches of big white fluffy snow flakes on us. We had fun, though running outside in our bare feet. Even though I am behind in my posting, these wintry pictures are not out of season!
I also wanted to mention that we have two YouTube channels where I've posted some videos. I've put the links in the links section to the right.
Previous post pictures were all from Reeve's camera...the pics below were taken by me.
The beginning of the hike...walking to the trail head.

Around the bend is the first Ice Cave...you can somewhat see what a challenging hike this was for the 3 Mamas carrying babes on the front or back.

1st Cave
2nd Cave...a very impressive, thick ice wall.

We'll miss this...I know we will!

Ice Cave Hike at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve ~ Reeve's Camera

Well I've taken a bit of a break from blogging. Going to try to be more regular with it again! These pictures were taken in the beginning of March by Reeve on an Ice Cave Hike in the Kickapoo Valley Reserve with our homeschool group.

I think there were 4 ice caves that we visited. This was one of the first ones.


Nice and dry inside the cave!
