I\'m Summer, a mouthy, sarcastic bitch. I\'m passionate about natural birth, long term breastfeeding, and living naturally. I curse too much, love tattoos, and will some day be crushed to death by my book collection. I homeschool, dream of gardening, and swing to the left. 
Adventure day
Yesterday while A napped E and I took an adventure walk to a dry creek bed a few blocks away.
We chatted about the colors of all the leaves around us, how they crunched under our feet, the smell of a fireplace roaring somewhere nearby, and the wind that blew us around.
Once there we found little leaves growing in some sort of vine, most covered in little holes chewed out of them. E gathered a few up in his pockets and made me promise to read him The Very Hungry Catapillar when we got home. The creekbed walls have been filled with large rocks, perfect for E to throw and cheer when they smashed. I sat and watched him for a bit, until I noticed one that had broken open had something odd in it. Fossils! Nothing news worthy, just a couple pill bugs and some other kind of bug, a few little bumps that are probablyplant based. Its fairly common to find if you’re looking. Now if only my camera were better I would be able to share photos that don’t look like blurs.

I’m a huge wannabe archaeology buff and very envious of your finds! How cool is that?
Intrepid is a boy after my own heart and loves to look for them with me. If only we were more fortunate in our finds. I once found a good-sized fish with a childhood friend, but nothing remotely that interesting since. Leaves (donated to a museum) but not much else.
Glad you guys had fun
