After breakfast at Cracker Barrel (or Crackle Barrel as Darrin called it) we headed to the Lost Canyon. This was one of the small local tours that was recommended to us by the lady at the hotel.I highly recommend this tour for anyone who as time. It is a small tour, off the beaten path, inexpensive but so worth it. Our tour guide Tony was very informative and entertaining. The tour takes you right through the bottom of the deep narrow canyons just outside of town. The trails through the caverns are so narrow that when sitting on the wagon, you can reach out and touch the walls!
Of all the tours that we did while we were here, this was one of the best ones! Granted the other tours were good, but this being a smaller family owned company made it a little more personal!
We were able to get a few more photo's of the "missing" Lake Delton from right across the road from the Lost Canyon Tour office. Darrin still had a hard time really comprehending ho
w deep the lake really was. He kept saying that it didn't look like the lake had been that deep. Untel we explained to him that the docks are still in the same place that they were and that the water probably came up to just below them. I think that finally put it in perspective for him ~ especially when he realized that with where he has been stanging, the water was probably about 1o feet deep.

Today it was Pirate Cove - right next door to Timber Falls where we were ysterday.
Pirate Cove has 5 different courses to choose from and Darrin and John decided that we needed to attempt the hardest course. Considering this course was as difficult as it was, Darrin did very well! He kept right with John most of the way and I think he ended up only 1 stroke behind John at the end. Once the weekend is over I am going to post all the Mini-golf scores together - as a summary 
of our mini-golf tournament this weekend. Darrin decided that tomorrow he is going to beat John!
of our mini-golf tournament this weekend. Darrin decided that tomorrow he is going to beat John! The afternoon was more swimming and water at the hotel! Darrin could not decide which of hte water play areas he wanted to play at so he kept goign from part to part! It is nice now that he is older that he is off on his own. He does really good to let us know where he is heading so that makes it easier too.
Tonight
we deicded that we didn't really feel like heading out to eat so we opted to order in. After looking at menu's from a few different places we decided to just order from Buffalo Phils since it was so close by. Darrin was watching the clock to see when the pizza would be there and announced that our pizza was on it's way - via a golf cart! Apparently, as a means to save gas, they deliver to the hotel with the golf cart instead of the normal delivery car. Makes sense to me!

I think I need an extra day to recover from everything!
