Cupcakes and the creek
10 Jul 2012 Leave a Comment
We decorated cupcakes at the library.
We thought the choices were chocolate or vanilla cakes, but the ones we thought were vanilla were actually lemon.
Not a big deal, but you know how it is when you think something is going to taste a certain way and it ends up being something else. Being full of cupcakes we needed to expend some energy, so we went swimming.
We drove by one swimming spot, but the water was too high, so we ended up at our end of the river.
We waded in the river and then Grace found a freakin’ huge crawfish.
Seriously, this thing was huge, then they found 3 more. Then they went back to swimming until they noticed the crawfish swimming with them.
Now, bear in mind, the crawfish had been there all along, they just didn’t notice them until they caught a few. Hannah kept her crawfish for awhile, named it Rosetta and said that she liked to be pet on the back.
We wandered over to the creek and it was so overgrown in our normal spot that we couldn’t get down the bank into the water.
We ended up going back downstream a bit and jumping in.
The creek spot always changes, but the girls thought it was drastic this year, too much growth. Some flowers from the river, I do love those purple thistles.
Tomorrow a new museum, a print-making lecture and a hike to a waterfall.
