Final Friday...Hike to the water!!!


We were so thrilled that the weather held up for us for our final day of Creepy Crawly Creek Critters!  We headed out on a longer hike to the Wissahickon.  We made so many fabulous discoveries along the way!!
White bracket fungus

We've heard this called "Elephant Ear" but we're not positive that is the official name.

Sharing a find

Waterfalls

What's that?!?

Millipedes!!!


When we reached the water's edge we kept on exploring and discovering!



Arman made a discovery


Decomposing leaves





Brightly colored fly

A freshwater clam



This damselfly really likes Piper

A mallard leading geese?!?!?!?

He found his mate

Some animals were having a clam feast last night.  We found so many clam shells!






Silvia found flakes of mica 
Ella is enjoying the sparkly Wissahickon Schist

Some crayfish claws

that used to belong to this crayfish.  An animal had a tasty treat recently!

Happy to find a clam shell

Brightly colored mushrooms along our path

Wineberry plant

They are safe to eat, though we didn't eat anything in the woods.


 In the afternoon we worked to weave webs.  It was harder than we thought!



Goodbye Creepy Crawler Creek Campers!!!!!
We hope to see you next year!
