SPLASHIN' IN THE WOODS

Oh my how lovely it was to have a spring weather reprise this weekend!

Accordingly, we headed out to the creek for some splashing and sunning...

Will and a couple of his trucks:

Leo rocking his do-rag and green fluffy bum:


Going to the creek with a group of scientists was awesome for the kiddos.

Jay caught a minnow:

Al caught a crawfish:

Hoping for her own fish capture...

There were also captures of caterpillars and stinkbugs and a variety of flies that caused Al to determine Little Sand Creek to be a healthy stream. Hooray for safe swimming water for the kiddos!

Oh boy, did we ever have a nice spot on a little sandbar:
The kids did so well, and lasted much longer than any of us expected. We didn't leave the creek until 1.5 hours after their usual naptime. The little hike back to the cars definitely finished wearing them out though.

Well, actually, Cora was asleep as soon as I crossed the creek and took a few steps into the woods:

James lasted until after the poison ivy prevention foot washing though.

Thank you SO much Kennedy and Sanchez crews, we had an awesome day and love that we can all just pack up and take the kids out for such fun adventures! Until next time...
