We've been trying for the past couple of weeks to get out on a "big" adventure with the kids. Plan A has been a bike trip over to Gabriola Island, but we keep getting vetoed by the weather. I figured a Plan B of going to check out the Horne Lake caves might be a neat trip, and it probably wouldn't matter too much if it was raining or not. Kessa wasn't super excited about the idea, but in the end it turned out to be a grand adventure. We got to explore into the "Main Cave". There was a pretty tight squeeze to get into the main part of the cave, and then we were able to wind our way through a narrow passage, up a ladder, and a bit of easy scrambling around the rocks to get back to a waterfall. Overall we made it about 300 feet into the cave, which definitely gave the feeling like we were deep underground. I was suprised how much the kids enjoyed it. Leif was upset when it was time to come out!

This was a "serious" adventure
