Brandon and I had a great time this weekend. We travelled to Byrdstown, TN on Saturday morning and met Dan there. We were able to keep Dan a secret from Brandon and he was very excited to see Dan.
As soon as we got there, we had to meet up with my parents, brother and his two sons. We ate some good ole country cooking at The Bobcat Den. After a very filling lunch we went over to visit my Granddad. He is in a nursing home for rehabilitation after a bad bit of sickness. He was with the physical therapist when we got there. In order to get him to work out, we had to join in with the exercise. Brandon at one point told Grandpa that he would put him in time out if he didn't do his exercise. Grandpa replied, "Good I will take a 10 hour time out." The PT asked him why he was here if the grandkids were going to do all the work. He replied "That's what I wanna know."
That evening we went down to the Dixie where we took in some more good country food and some live bluegrass music. Sierra Hull and her brother sang and played for us. Brandon enjoyed it so much that we had to buy the CD before we left.
The next morning we got up early and headed for Cave City, KY. We headed to Mammoth Cave and got ready for a 4 mile hike through the cave. We were able to see some beautiful gypsum formations, some amazing canyons, and incredible stalagmites and stalagtites. Brandon was amazed that we were actually INSIDE the earth. He was able to ask many questions to the ranger and he had a great time. He did get worried when he found out that they were going to turn the lights out on us.
We finally made it through the cave tour and headed back to the hotel. There was a indoor heated pool. It wasn't heated enough for me but Brandon loved it. We hadn't been there long before 2 more boys that were on the same tour with us showed up at the pool. The boys played so well together. Dan and I were able to play some UNO while they swimmed.
The next morning we had to head home in the rain. :( But we had a great time hanging out and seeing some incredible natural wonders.

It was indeed a great time.. Country cooking and all :)
Cant wait to do it again
The profile picture of Brandon is so funny to me. This was the point of the tour that the Ranger told us that she planned to turn the lights off. Just a bit of panic in those little wide eyes. :)
