We wanted to do something short in the park while Grandpa Tom was up. We had done such a long hike the previous day, that a short trip would probably be best. Plus the kids had some friends coming over that night and we did not want to wear them out. So we chose Cave Valley where it was a short walk to some glyphs. Since Zyla had been out hiking the day before, she wanted to start with all the usual like hide and go seek. We convinced her that this was not a great idea. It was an easy hike, so no need building it up. From the time we started to the cave it was under a half an hour which meant that it was probably about 1/2 a mile as Zyla hikes at about 1 mile per hour. Her reaction to the end of the trail was one of not much excitement though she thought that the cave was cool.
Still, old paintings on the wall did not appeal to her in any sort of way yet. We took some pictures and enjoyed them, then headed back. We got her moving by racing her to the car. Jacqueline was mad at me when I "cheated" to beat her at the end. I am not sure how I cheated to beat a 3 year old to the car, but it got her moving. All and all, we were only out for less than an hour, but still were able to see something interesting.
