Creek Explorers

 Being in the creek these past few days has been magically cool and wonderfully fun.  After initial splashing and moving quickly, the children settled into exploring and building with rocks, as well as looking for "dinosaur bones" and "fossils".  Our exploring took many forms and different types of energy.

splashing along, back and forth along the deepest parts of the stream

exploring in nooks and crannies

Finding rocks with "fossils" or rocks that look like dinosaur teeth

showing off a particular find

Watching the reflective water moving over the rocks and moss

Looking closely to see your own reflection

            wet hands make handprints on a dry log

Using a stick to measure the depth of the water...

gently touching a crawfish with a stick to see if it would move...looking closely...

reveling in the green space and climbing and dancing.......

splashing steps......

Moving rocks and mud to see if the water will move differently.....

                                            balancing!.....

joyful walking in wet places.....

                     comparing splashy steps

                            a good rock find!

                       deep and cool water on a warm day

                  gently moving along

we found a cozy place to sit next to the creek

Until Next Time,
