Creek Day!
Yesterday we packed up the kids and headed to the creek! The woods are fresh and green, the water flows crystal clear through this creek, its very wide and shallow in spots and deep enough to swim in others. There are vines hanging from the trees athat the kids can swing from like tarzan off of the banks! We catch fish and minnows with nets to put in our aquarium. The surrounding woods look like a jungle...rays of sunlight pour through in spots, but its always cooloer and pleasant down here, even in the hottest part of the summer....

My hub Jim sits on a log..he did most of the photography!

The trail goes for miles down along the creek, and looks like this... Ellie and her friend Allyson lead the way...

Here they are churning up the water!!

On the way in, and a cool fallen log you can jump from!

Danny and myself, he was having trouble keeping his wet cut offs on!!

It was a great day! Today we are tilling our garden, and I have to finish a large Beistle style jack O Lantern commission! More pics to follow!

Looks like fairy land with you and your little pixies! Jim is a very good photographer unlike my Jim who always cuts my head off (in the photo, that is - you know what I mean). :)
