The Cold Cave Adventure
Leo put on his warm red jacket. Today, his family visited the Polar Caves in Warren.
They walked down a winding wooden path. The air got colder with every step.
"Look at the huge rocks!" said Leo. He held his sister's hand tightly.
They stepped into a dark cavern room under the ground. The cave walls felt smooth and cool.
"It feels like a big fridge down here," Mom laughed.
Leo shined his flashlight on the gray stones. He saw tiny trickles of water on the wall.
They squeezed through a narrow rock spot. Leo felt like a brave explorer.
When they walked back up into the sunshine, Leo smiled. He loved his cool cave adventure.
