mysterious caves + rope swinging.

While I love being outside -- lounging in the grass, swimming in the ocean, walking along the battery -- I wouldn't exactly call myself an outdoorsy type gal. One time I went camping in seventh grade and insisted on cleaning my tent once an hour (I didn't want spiders in my sleeping bag). Then there was the time I spent a night in a hotel due to a cockroach fiasco.

Needless to say I was a little apprehensive before our hike to the mysterious Indian caves, but I threw on a dress (?) and some rain boots and went for it. I acquired a few scrapes, got dangerously close to poison oak (which Hailey has since acquired on her forehead) and stuck my head inside the cave. I felt like a certified adventure girl.

But I was no adventurer compared to Hailey, who wanted to keep up with the reckless boys and jump off the rope swing into the two-feet-deep river.

At least she made me giggle the rest of the weekend, hobbling around with her wooden cane.

i know exactly what you mean about loving the outdoors but not being an outdoorsy girl...I've tried, I'm just not it.

just wanted to say I'm loving this little series of "farm" posts Olivia :) It looks so much greener and idyllic than it is up here in PA and, as a bonafide "outdoors girl" makes me excited for summer adventures.

So cool. I always wanted to try rope swinging and jumping to the water. That looks like an amazing outdoor adventure.
