Strong Current


Once again, our area was inundated with a lot of rain. We decided to check out a small creek behind the house to see if it was deep enough for swimming! Notice the difference between Sam and Juby's interpretation of the weather. I love the optimism of the goggles!
John went out into the center of the stream but we let Miss J. go no farther than the edge after he reported that the current was quite strong. Its depth was just above his knees and chilly!
Sam, cautiously, obtained a long stick to help him get out if needed. Of course, I would have assisted, if necessary.
This one was sturdier and gave John added confidence which was all part of the fun...He wasn't having any real problems.
While we were out in the woods, the boys found a very large salamander.
High water has certainly been in the news lately and we were excited to be able to experience some for ourselves.
