Forest Adventures - part II


Here is Michael and Ryan entering the forest

The boys conquered the climbing of a big rock on the side of the hill.




Justin found a newt.Unfortunately since the picture was fuzzy, black and white was the best way for it to show up. It was a dark color (black) with light spots.

Jonathan was "beside himself" because he wanted one too, but of course there was only one there. He made sure to go on a mission to find one. I was hoping Jonathan would find one, but I felt kind of doubtful .
Thankfully I was wrong; he found a cute little brown salamander a little bit later.
Look closely.. it was tiny. Thankfully the boys are learning that the best thing for these critters is to let them go so they won't die.

Ryan loved this wall of slate. He told me he was making a puzzle out of the pieces. I could hardly get him away from it.

This was a great hollow tree with a neat-looking mushroom growing inside. Here are the boys looking in.....

Here is the mushroom. It almost looked fossilized, but it was wet.
My favorite fellas..... I am so blessed!

This tree was at the end of the woods. It had knots from the very bottom all the way to the top. I thought it was really weird!
