Maybe she will grow up to be a model or an actress.
Our big activity for today was going to a cave which is on our neighbor's land. Grampa decided he needed a break so he stayed home. He had been there once and said that was enough for him.
Wally is getting prepared with head lamp and extra flashlights.
He's also got his trusty Swiss Army Knife for emergencies.
Along the way we stopped for a drink break and Wally turned over a rock to look for insects. Instead, he found this young mole. He was thrilled.
Alli changed out of her dressy clothes and into outdoor wear, plus headlamp.
Just inside the cave entrance Wally found some snails on the wall. He brought them home.
Getting into the cave is not easy, nor is getting out. We actually were not sure we were in the right place so we only went in a short way and shined our flashlights around then left. We need to go back with the owner of the cave who can be our guide.
I was very proud of Alli for going in because there were granddaddy long leg spiders everywhere on the walls of the entrance. We had to move them before she would get in but at least she did it. Competition with her brother spurs her on to be brave.
It looks like I am coming out of a well, but it's not that big of a drop to the ground. I wish we could have found the right way into the cave because it opens up into a large room and I think the kids would have found it interesting.
Here the kids are leaving the cave area. Kind of looks like little lost Hansel and Gretel doesn't it.
They did accuse me of trying to get them lost several times but we made it out of the woods ok.
