Mushroom Hunting

Five men went looking for mushrooms today along the river. Some of them were pretty whiny.

They touched the moss, watched a train, and found lots of mushrooms, though they left with none to take home for dinner.

We threw rocks at the dam too (because).

Cold Winter Walks

What to do on the water in mid-winter? It’s too cold to safely kayak with two boys, and their little hands get cold when we try to go fishing. Swimming is out.

So we walk, throw rocks, kick leaves, and walk some more. We don’t tend to see a whole lot of wildlife, but there is usually a train and sometimes a lot of ducks. Instead of twice a week we only go down a few times a month. But it’s always fun.
