Hiking in the "Jungle"

Stanley, Glory and I went for a hike today at Tryon Creek, or as Stanley called it, "the jungle." We had a fun time listening to birds, searching for slugs, and crossing bridges. The highlight of the trip was definitely Stanley's talent show (story and picture below).

Stanley said, "Mommy and Glory come watch
my talent show!" Then he stood on this platform
and sang song after song at the top of his lungs.
He even made up a song that went something like,
"Oh me oh my, I love trees.
Trees go up and trees go down. I love trees!"

A really cool lichen I found
