Shocking Day

What a fun day! I have been to Kickapoo State Park many times before, but I can honestly say that I’ve never had a day quite like this one - and will remember it for a long time! Many firsts for the kids - and for me—goose tagging, fish shocking (who knew it was such a dangerous activity?!), gigantic minnows, huge poison ivy that looked like a tree, and yoga on the clifftop that was somehow both relaxing and muscle-building. The sassafras plant was yummy - or perhaps I was starving by that point of the hike? It was wonderful to see everyone participate in the activities despite the heat and unknowns - such an adventurous group. I look forward to sharing more adventures tomorrow. Thanks to everyone (and to John for keeping the rain away!)

  1. I was flabbergasted that a carp could be a minnow.  I had always thought that a minnow referred to the size of that fish and not a classification of fish.  It was so fun being with you today, Michelle!
