SHIP ROCK

Again, one of our favorite things to do at my mom's house is to go hiking. This time Jadyn picked up a bizarre new habit. She had to stop everytime she some a patch of dirt & feel how soft it was. I'm not sure where that came from - it was weird!

This pinecone definitely stood out from the rest....

I thought it was so pretty & just crazy! Kylie thought it looked like a watermelon with the red inside & green tips!

Here's a rock we looked for. On our last trip Erik & Kylie found this rock & Kylie named it "Ship Rock". (Yes, we like to name rocks at our house - see previous post) They named it this because it looked like the fron of a ship that was shipwrecked. Here's "E" & the girls on top of "Ship Rock".

The girls & I acting like pirates. Jay is steering while Kylie & I keep a look out.

This stuff is all over the place at my mom's. It's called resurrection moss & I think it's so cool! It's black moss all over the rocks. Poor a little water on it & it comes to life & turns green again. I poured a little water on one area to show the difference.

The girls also like to collect rocks while on our hikes. Jadyn had her pockets completely stuffed with rocks. She had to have gotten a work out with the extra weight hiking uphill. Here's the haul they made.
