Spelunking with Glowsticks

The triplets TWENTIETH birthday was Sunday! I can't believe they've gotten so OLD! (What does that make me?!)
Sunday afternoon after church everyone gathered at mine & Kyles house and had a homemade Cafe Rio-style lunch/dinner. Then, at Tia's request, we quite literally piled in Kyle's truck (to avoid multiple vehicle fees), and headed up to the Snow Canyon State Park lava caves to play a little game called "Glow Stick Hide-and-Go-Seek." To play, many non-toxic glow sticks are activated, then broken open and splashed onto the cave room walls, the ground, boulders, and the clothing of everyone playing. When a person wearing glow-stick-spattered clothing moves, they are easily spotted, but if they hold still, they blend into the scene. Which makes it really fun to play hide and go seek! People crouching down look like boulders. People standing up against the wall look like the wall. The tiny ones (mom, Rachelle, Tia) seemed to be able to hide the best - they were always found last. Other than the scraped ankles, bumped heads, and stepped on body parts, it was a LOT of fun!!! A little cake and a few presents later, we called it a birthday. Happy Twentieth Tia, Trenton, and Tim! Love you lots!

I love spelunking!

Also loved when you all piled into Kyle's truck to sneak around the multiple veh fee. :) I've done that a time or two.

You guys are always up for a good time!
