Did I mention that it’s 52 degrees in the Fairy Caves? My wife says that I have the best job in the world. When it’s going to be 95 degrees outside, I will get to wander through an airconditioned wonderland with a group of tourists. When it was snowing chicken feathers the other day, we got to walk inside where it was “warm” and “dry”.
I get to show the little girls the
Fairy in the Fairy Caves. Ooooo. Ahhhhh. I get to show the little
girls the Tooth Fairy in my book “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t
Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth. Whoooooa.Who’s THAT? The hero is
a very unlikely person for rescuing the parents from Parental Tooth
Stress Syndrome.
Yesterday, I got goosebumps when I discovered something. I just published my book “Dad the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” in February of this year. Then this summer I got hired as a tour guide at the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park (www.glenwoodcaverns.com, come on one of my killer caver tours) leading people through Fairy Caves, here in Colorado. In our tours, we even show the people the dancing fairy on the wall. Then yesterday, I was reading through our tour guide book about the Fairy Caves. I discovered that Charles W. Darrow formed the Fairy Caves Company on September 16, 1895. September 16 is my BIRTHDAY! I had cold chills running up and down my spine. And I wasn’t even standing out in the snowstorm that was taking place at the time.
