This past weekend, along with our bee action, Toots had a friend that stayed the night. It wasn't long before the girls announced they were, "bored", and so we took to the woods.
The creek is more like it.
Where they looked for pottery shards....
fish and crawdads.
They wanted to check out the cave, but only the dogs get to peek inside.
The Deerslayer soon turned up in the woods, trying to give the girls a little scare.
Next came the mud....
then my canine friend and I decided to call it a day.

ReplyDeleteThe imprint of investigating nature when young will last through their life-time. What an adventure the girls had. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteSo much like my kids and their friends used to do when they where younger! You were wise to leave when the mud balls came out!!
ReplyDeleteGreat woods, great kids, great fun! And it looks like summer is just around the corner where you are.
ReplyDeleteI would have enjoyed that immensely. Reminded me of my childhood, thank you!
ReplyDeleteNice playgrounds!
ReplyDeleteYou got quite a crowd at last... Love the quote of the day!
ReplyDeleteI'd get out of there too before that mud started flying! - So nice to have a serene setting like that close by. xo
ReplyDeleteWow, what wonderful waterfalls and creek! Are those on your property? What a GREAT place for kids to explore! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome day out with the kiddies!!!! I hope to do some more burning back in our woods this weekend... Not sure if the weather will cooperate. That little cave looks very intriguing! Do the kids ever go spelunking in it? Or just the dog?
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!! Great pictures...wonderful memories...what could be better!!
ReplyDeleteLove outdoor adventure....and im stealing that quote! ;)

A wonderful post to read... many thanks for sharing .
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the creek! I wish it was behind my house. I'd spend every afternoon there.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time! I'd love to have those woods in my back yard...
ReplyDeleteThis probably seems like a normal, nothing special day to you, but you and your kids actually live in a paradise that not many kids today get to experience. Treasure it!
ReplyDeleteTeresa - This is located on our farm. We are very fortunate!
ReplyDeleteThis must have been fun! There is so much to explore in your woods, and they look nice and cool.
ReplyDeleteThose older brothers trying to scare sisters! We have the same at our house. Fantastic pictures and your quote matches up perfectly. It is about living the life worth living and not the money.
ReplyDeleteLove the crik! Aren't tweenage girls such fun? I love to listen to their chatter when my oldest grand comes round with her friends.
ReplyDeleteBecoming one with nature is a great cure for boredom. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should go there more often !
ReplyDeleteI love your remedy to "being bored." Much better than a trip to the mall. :)
