Stream

We visited a wonderful wood with friends recently.  A beautiful place up in the hills to do some adventuring.
 
We loved this wise-looking, mossy, bumpy tree.

Best of all was the stream that ran through the woods.  All the children worked together to build a dam wall using sticks and stones.  Noah especially enjoyed splashing about in the water despite how icy cold that water was.

We also discovered natural deposits of clay.  I found the deposits along the banks were really hard so couldn't be collected but if we dug deep down beneath the pebbles, it was soft and easy to scoop up handfuls.  We collected up a small bagful and look forward to working with that clay.

Look at this magnificent fungi tower.
