Today we went on a Backyard Adventure! We have a little stream that runs through our neighborhood. We go there quite frequently, usually on our Rain Walks, to throw rocks and wade in a little. But, we've never explored to see where it comes from and where it goes. So today we put on our swimsuits and sandals, packed a snack and some towels and set off for an adventure. The boys were thrilled. I was a little unsure, but nevertheless, we were off. We waded through some "quicksand mud" and sunk past our ankles in the mucky, stinky stuff. Hunter even lost his flip-flop in the goop and I had to dig it out. We encountered several large and very thirsty mosquitoes who especially loved me and Noah. And we hiked through several people's backyards. But as yucky and stinky and mucky as our adventure might have been, we made it to the end of the river and satisfied our curious minds as to where our stream comes from. And next week. . . we'll be off to find out where our little river ends, even though I already have a pretty good idea where we'll end up.
