One of the highlight adventures was the “Lost Sea Adventure”.  The sea is 140 feet underground and is up to 75 feet deep.  The adventure includes touring the cave to and from the sea and a boat ride on the sea.  Great fun and little to no anxiety was evident even when the tour did the prerequisite lights out example of DARK.

A hike around the National Forest Indian Boundary Lake included sightings of Trolls, Ogres and deer with some gymnastic challenges. Aunt Carol joined us.

Nana and Willa did many crafts and projects during her visit.

There was a spirited Bocce game.

Willa helped Granpa with leaf cleanup and driveway pothole repair around the property. She ran the shovel, rake and blower.

Willa attended her first car race at the Smokey Mountain Raceway, a short dirt track.  She chose a particular car to root for in the feature race and had it not suffered and early flat tire it might have won the event.  Even with the repair and associated start at the back of the pack a 3rd place finish was managed.  Nice recovery.

She watched with interest as the well pump was pulled and replaced with a well drilling rig.  After that she reminded me of touring the excavator during plumbing work in Kingston.  Lots of life experiences.

Near the end of her stay a large tree lost it’s footing and toppled over the driveway and leaned on another large tree.  It was professionally removed after her visit was over.
