We ventured down to one of our favorite spots today....
FROG CITY!!!!
Sam found and caught a frog right away. It was a nice green Green Frog as soon as we entered the creek but silly Moore didn't hold on tight enough!
STILL SEARCHING FOR THOSE ELUSIVE FROGS
Deep Water means wet feet
Still looking!!
We learned about Jewel Weed. The leaves are water resistant so they bead up and look like little jewels. The underside looks silvery when it is wet. It is a good plant to be able to identify because the "juice" inside the stem is a natural remedy. If you put it on a fresh mosquito bite, it stops the itch. It can also help a sting from a bee or wasp. Rubbing it on a stinging nettle site and it will reduce the sting. It can also be used to prevent and treat poison ivy!!
Fungus filled logs!
That's a lot of water, Victoria!!
Beautiful Blue Dragaonflies were flitting around us.
We climbed a steep hill out of the creek!
After an hour long dance party we were ready for some downtime so we enjoyed playing card games, completing puzzles, reading and drawing while waiting for our turn at the craft table.
We painted salamadars and frogs today!
We love how our spiderweb baskets turned out!
