GRANDSON FUN (DAY THREE)



Today concludes our last full day of our visit with Silas and Hunter.

 

After leaving our hotel this morning, we stopped by the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay in Redding.  Then we took a tour of Lake Shasta Caverns.  Then we headed back to the house on Oak Valley where we swam, played pool, played ping pong, ate ice cream, watched Firehouse Dog and went to bed.

 

Tomorrow we return the boys home.

 

 

 

Silas and Hunter cross the Sacramento River on the Sundial Bridge.

While looking down at the river from the bridge, Hunter noticed a spider.

Standing together on the other side of the river.

Both boys show a keen interest in rocks.

Hunter rests.

The tour of Lake Shasta Caverns includes a ferry ride across Shasta Lake, a bus ride uphill to the entrance to the caves, and a guided tour through the caves.  Hunter and Silas enjoy the boat ride across the lake.

The boys choose the back seat of the bus.

Bear hug.

Our tour guide, Dave, gives some history of the cave before we enter it.

Dave explains different structures inside the cave.

The boys thought their trip through the cave was "cool" and "awesome".

The boys spend some time in a play area outside the cave gift shop following the tour.

After returning to the house on Oak Valley, Hunter and Silas challenge Nana to a game of Pictureka.
