Family fun day in the woods

Every Friday after dinner, we have Family Fun day. A couple of weeks ago, we ventured into the (finally) snowless woods to look for a bit of green. Being from evergreen Oregon, it is hard to get used to deciduous trees, but they do have a stark kind of beauty. I took this photo because the moon was rising behind it, but it didn't show well.

Olivia brought her backpack and gathered natural items like bark, acorns, interesting rocks and other crafty items.

Chloe found a green, growing, alive fern. It's such a welcome sight after 290"of snow this winter.



Chris rifles though the leaf litter to find some bugs. We found a few spiders and centipedes.



Naomi wore the hat she received from Rene at chuch for Easter. It was just right for the weather.
