This past weekend we went camping with Grammy and Paw-paw. During our trip we took a wonderful hike and nature walk to teach the kids about some tree and plant species. The kids were amazed at the cliffs and waterfalls that we were able to see throughout the park. We visited the nature center, as well, and read some neat books about bugs, trees, and wildlife. Fortunately for us we saw three deer, many squirrels, some chipmunks, a snail, a poisonous snake, a turtle, and fish during our camping trip. Don't worry! The venomous snake was at the Nature Center in a secure aquarium.
One of the most interesting sights, to me, was the mini-forest of moss species (See the picture below). I was fascinated by how many different kinds of moss I found in one 4 x 4 inch area. You can get a general scale of this tiny and intricate miracle in the picture with M's finger by the moss.
This last picture is of our family in front of a lovely fountain in the nearby town where we attended Mass on Sunday morning.
