Adventures in the Copper Mine

So we went to the copper mine up in Dahlonega this morning.  The idea was to film there, and really for our needs, the location was spot-on perfect.  It's just a random hole in the mountain, a tunnel that goes back far enough and around a bend enough that there is zero light at the furthest part back.  It was helpful to walk all the way back there though - a good little distance, really - because you sort of are comforted that there isn't anyone or anything back there lurking in the darkness.

There was, however, some things lurking in the darkness in front of us.  There were spiders, and there were those ginormous millipedes.  Daddy was steadying himself at one point, as we did a little tap dance over the stones and puddles.  He reached out to the wall of the cave, and sure enough there was one of those massive bugs right there.  Perfect atmosphere for an Indiana Jones sort of shoot.

Anyway, that was our adventure for the day.  The neat thing was all the pictures with us and the torches in caves, dressed as adventurous characters.  Lots of fun!

Madison continued ballet camp, meanwhile.  Daddy returned home after filming, because he definitely needed to change clothing.  It was muddy in that cave.  We all had dinner together, talked and played for a bit - and then Daddy was back to work, where things went just fine tonight.

Madison, meanwhile, played Kinect Sports 2 for quite some time.  Yesterday, we were playing Kinect a lot with our extended family, so we still had it out today.  Madison was taking advantage of that, and from this point on, we just might leave that out for a bit.  Every so often, it's fun to plug in the Star Wars game and become a rancor monster.

Anyway, it was a good Wednesday, one with a little fun, a little ballet and jazz, and a little adventure in the cool mining caves of Dahlonega.
