A visit to Mega Cavern in Louisville, Kentucky was on my adventure list and I was SO EXCITED that we were able to cross off a visit during the final days in December.

I love that rope challenge courses help build confidence. Each time you overcome a challenging task, you are more prepared to take on a new one.

I witnessed my kids face their fears on several that day.

I loved that the course had a great mix of easy and challenging obstacles. There were several that keep me on my toes and a few that almost made me do the splits but I really enjoyed the challenge. The course is also a great workout!
