an adventure in the forest

Yesterday we went on an adventure to the forest.

We went in a caravan of friends.

  • It went something like this.
  • Arrive,get everyone settled by the water.
  • Gather food around the fire pit.
  • Children,(guess what?) start feeling hungry.
  • Feed children p,b and j or pb and "honey"sandwiches. Or hardboiled eggs, or pesto and tomato sandwiches etc.Share food all around.
  • Play in water some more.
  • Heat rice dish over fire.
  • eat some more
  • children play around and babies are snuggled into the double stroller for naps
  • Go walking to pick berries.
  • Try to keep small people out of poison ivy while picking berries.
  • Berries are abundant!
  • Get POURED on and everyone is all wet and cold.
  • Remember campsite has food and picnic blankets and all kinds of stuff all out and getting wet!
  • go back to camp and clean,clean,clean! Feed people again!
  • play in water a bit more and help small people with bathroom needs
  • pack up cars and grownups eat dark chocolate for sustenance
  • little ones eat fruit leathers and bars and eventually fall asleep
  • my pal and I listen to Raffi and search out "Baby Beluga" and sing it together.We are such moms!
  • Get home. Boys rush to get ready for an outing with neighbor and Chelsea has come down with a fever.
  • Good,good times!
Now to wash all that wet clothing today!

Thanksgiving Day Field Trip

We went out for an afternoon trip to the park near our house today. It was dark by the time we left and Lee got a picture of the dam at the edge of the park.They illuminate the dam at night.
