Edible Plants

Today, instead of kindergarten, Rachel and I went on a field trip with a group of homeschooling folks.  We took a walk through a park and learned all about the edible plants around us.  It was actually pretty interesting.  There were lots of kids of all ages.  We tasted everything from crab apples (which were liked) and to clover, Creeping Charlie, Goldenrod, Dandylion leaves, Evening Primrose flowers....and many more that I don't remember.  Luckily we have a book that covers everything.

The biggest hit to the under 6 crowd were the ducks. :)
