Day 30 - October 14th

After leaving the Dunn's we drove to Louisville to go to the Louisville Slugger Factory. 

We couldn't take pictures of the actual bat making but they had some exhibits after the tour.
(It took about 5 minutes to get this picture - I did NOT like standing by this wax figure) 



Watch it Loveland!

We were each able to hold bats that were used in a game. You had to wear these white gloves to hold the bat. I held a bat used by Mickey Mantle. 

Isaac held one used by Johnny Bench

We headed toward Indiana next and went to Squire Boone Caverns. It was a hot spot for class trips, we actually toured the caves with 30 4th graders and their parents. 






Before exiting the Caverns our tour guide brought us past this small casket which actually holds the bones of Squire Boone (the man who discovered the caves).. ewww. 

It was a day of caves for us. After leaving Squire Boone Caverns we went to Mommoth Cave National Park.

These caves were much bigger and contain over 300 miles of different paths. We did a tour that went through about a mile of the caves.
