Is It Naptime Yet

Here are the pictures that go with this post: Family Vacation 2011- Part 10.

A family of squirrels Lilah was enthralled with. She took tons of pictures of them playing. (At Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho.)

Give a girl and camera and she will take a self portrait, even with the zoom on.

View of Craters of the Moon National Monument, from Inferno Cone, a dead volcano.

Another view from the top of Inferno Cone, you can see some of the other cones, which were also volcanoes. These cones are a series of volcanoes that erupted at different times, thousands of years a part, they were fed from the same super volcano that is under Yellowstone.

On our way to the caves.

Pretty flower bush growing in the lava field.

In Dew Drop Cave.

Part of the collapsed ceiling of Indian Tunnel. It had a series of these and we had to climb over at least one big rock pile. The ceiling was 40 feet high, at least.

This is my favorite picture with us by one of the signs, too bad I’m not in it, but they’re so dang cute anyways. Wheeler Peak, the tallest mountain in Nevada is behind them.

A nice man stopped and took our picture for us.

Leeman’s cave, Great Basin NP.

I’ve lost my head, or my head lost me?
