Playing in the Creek

We hadn’t been to the secret creek for a long time.  Last Wednesday morning Squirmy and I went for a little walk there while the big kidlets were off to school, and I decided to try to bring the others to play there in the afternoon before Wednesday evening church activities.  Ya Ya elected not to come because of some attitude issues, so she stayed home with Dr. Peds and Squirmy.  The Banana, Mr. SP and I zipped over there.  Mr. SP was truly in his element, looking for crayfish, floating sticks, throwing enormous rocks into the water to make them splash.  The Banana started out very excited to be there, but then a mosquito bit her.  She is leery of bugs, and really hates mosquitos.  They are extremely upsetting to her, and so she was not thrilled at all about the situation.  There was whining.  There was grumping, but by the end she was back in the water too.  Mr. Sneaky Pants was just having SO much fun she couldn’t bear to be on the sidelines watching and not participating.
