One tree Two tree Big tree Seuss tree

You like that clever Suess-y title? Me too. I'm pretty proud.
After dinner on Monday (Sep. 27), Cameron and I had the pleasure of showing off all our new tree knowledge to one of our friends - Sarah. We gave the grand tour of all the 3 or 4(!) different types of trees and berries we'd learned the names of (or at least the ones we remembered). We decided to go back and re-climb the Big Tree we'd climbed that day as a class. Not too much of interest happened, so we went over to the Frankenstein/Seuss tree next to the capitol building and ate the roots of a licorice fern. It was awful. To wash out the flavor, we found some gooey little berries in a Taxus (a kind of yew tree) bush thing. They were tasty, and we didn't die from eating them. No explosive diarrhea, either! Success.
