Up A Creek

*Note to all grannie type people reading this... no child was put in harms way while playing in the creek today... I promise!

With all the rain we've had the last week or so, we've got soaked soil! It can't hold anymore. When we woke up this morning there were flood warnings all over our county and those around us. The boys were a little panicked because we have the creek that runs thru the park around the corner from us. I assured them that we live at the top of a hill and unless God decides to do an offical flooding of the earth again, the water will never get this high. I promised them that we'd walk down to the park and look at the creek to see how high and fast it was. We did and it didn't dissapoint us. The section everyone usually plays in was about a foot deep and flowing so fast that it was foamy. It was scarey!! D.K. wanted to get in so badly. He was just convinced that he could handle it. There was no way I was taking the chance, it was simply moving to quick. So we walked upstream on the bank until we came to a section that wasn't as deep and fast and I let them all get in!! It was fun! After awhile we got out and played on the wet playground since they were wet anyway! Then we went home, got cleaned up, put on dry clothes and went out to dinner to celebrate the last day of summer vacation!! I'm not sure what the thing in Bee's hand is. It's some kind of fuzzy bug that she'd picked up and wanted on my blog, so I obliged! Take note of her socks!!
