As is often the case, we headed out on this new adventure with our fellow explorers the Crunchers. They bring great support, enthusiasm, talent and treats! But before getting to the water, we needed to sample the local blackberries to gather strength.
This creek is much smaller than our regular stomping grounds, but don't let size fool you...there was much to catch in these shallow waters!
Our oldest son was back in his element! What an amazing 6 year old--I love him so much! As soon as we arrive he starts looking for all things that crawl, swim, jump or slither...and he finds them too! He especially loves having young grasshoppers to share his skills with!
After catching a few crawdads (alas, one tried to get away but did not go too far), a frog,
a fish and a few mosquito bites it was time to leave our new creek.
Until we spotted one more unsuspecting fish.
With that last fish captured all other creatures were released. I could almost hear a sigh of relief from our observation container as it was dumped back into the creek! I love spending these days with my boys! I am so glad I get to be their mom!
