The Creek


We went to the creek today! I have three required destinations during summer break - the ledges, the beach, and the creek. These three places are the heart and soul of who I am, so it feels important to me to share these places with my kiddos. When I was growing up, my grandparents lived next to a river and fortunately, for me, their portion of it was shallow and rocky, because as far back as I can remember, I was in that river; skipping stones, catching crayfish, and riding the current.


I felt like I was breathing in happiness the whole time we were there today. Griffin sat down in the middle of the water and threw rocks for what seemed like forever...the perfect thing for a demolition man to do! He didn't want to get dirty. The girls, on the other hand, couldn't resist the "wall of clay".





Bye creek! We had fun today. See you next year!


Quote of the day - There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your heart. - Chandogya Upanishad
