The Micah and Mommy Expedition

A couple weeks ago we were studying the state of Missouri. Some people that we learned about were Lewis and Clark - they left and returned from their western expedition in/near St. Louis. To commemorate, Micah and I went out and did our own expedition of a wooded area in our neighborhood. What a blessing - auntie Hannah was here and stayed home with the younger two, (Micah and I were gone for 2 hours)! What a special time to be just the two of us, and more than once Micah declared that, much to his surprise, exploring the park was "great!" I quite agree. :-)

Ready to go with our pack of supplies.

Recording our finds under some tree bark - fungus and a worm.

We saw a doe and her fawn!

This boy sure loves finding sticks.

Plenty of droppings, and even some deer hair.

Paper-like layer under the tree bark.

Cool bent-over tree.
