Wednesday the 20th was pretty uneventful. My only pics for the day were from a walk I took that afternoon. Leaves are mostly gone up here at the resort, but it's still lovely, especially now that we can see the undergrowth changing colors, too.
It was a drizzly, gloomy sort of day on Thursday the 21st. But it wasn't windy like it had been the past handful of days, so we bundled in our warm/rain gear and got outside anyway. Cal and Sam showed me the pile of treads they had found on a secret trail a few days ago. And then we decided to check out the creek a few miles down the road from the resort. There's a little pull out off the side of the road and it leads to the most gorgeous little waterfall/swimming hole in the creek. We spent a good while here, the kids climbing and exploring and bridge-building (they made it across the water and were so proud!) while Christine and I chatted about homeschool and books, of course.

| Discarded treads make for good bouncing and climbing. |

| Dew or rain? Dunno. |

Sam at the Jay Creek falls. (I don't know what it's really
called, so that's what I call it. ;) |

Almost all the kids had to cross this log
bridge, with help from the moms. |
 |
| Sam thought these fungi looked like frogs. |
 |
| A determined tree if I ever saw one. |
 |
| More camouflaged fungi. |
 |
| Climbing kids. |

These fuzzy licheny bryophytes just made
me happy. |
 |
| And more - so many varieties! |

Successful crossers!
As we were leaving, Sam said, "that was the coolest
thing EVER!" :D Be still my heart! |
Looks like a lovely adventure!
