Today Ben was really excited for his visit to Colossal Cave, which he calls “Collosical Cave”. Later that day he told me all the “facts” about how a drapery stalagtite (or is it -mite) is formed. His favorite part was the story about the robbers and possible buried gold still in the cave somewhere. Did you know Colossal Cave is the driest cave in the world? I didn’t. Ben is so full of curiosity (and commentary) about everything. No wonder kids are a part of that all great eternal plan, without them adults would forget (and do) all the wonder in the world. Thanks Ben for being such a good kid, and teacher. [Now if we could just sometimes turn the volume down a tad.]
