We went on a mushroom hunt this week through the forest again This week we came prepared  with a  backpack full of mushroom identification books  paper, clipboards, pencils and towels  to  sit on.  Our neighbors joined us this time  and her kids seemed to really enjoys spotting all the types of mushroom. She was even amazed by all the different types of mushrooms we found.

 A favorite of the kids was this little dark orange mushroom they called it a  Cheetos  mushroom, we never did identify it.

 This is a chicken mushroom and totally edible..

 When you break it apart it looks  just like cooked chicken!

 I love the happy little slug hanging out on the mushroom.

I am using Story of The World for history with Robin. This week we learned all about Archaeology and the kids went on a dig in out back yard and we examined our artifacts carefully to see what we could learn about the people who left these items behind. I buried various items in the dirt for them to dig up, they had fun all week long burying them and digging them back up.
