We have a lot of fun at the creek. There is an attraction to the water. Maybe it's something about the sound of it, but we enjoy going down to our little creek - no matter the season. It's fun to go in the winter and drink hot chocolate or in the summer and actually get in the water or in the fall or spring and build a fire or work on the dam. Mostly I just watch everyone else in the water these days, but that's fun for me and I like to make pictures.
We went yesterday and Ethan, Adam, Logan, and Adrian worked on the dam. They moved around big rocks and got it in good shape. I couldn't help but smile as they joked about moving their dam rocks to stop the dam water, etc. And a big thanks to Grandma for that cute story about the dam you told them! :)

i just have to put it down...
"the dam man went to the dam well to get some dam water. but the dam well wouldn't let the dam man get some dam water. so the dam man told the dam well he could keep his dam water!" hahahaha....yep, it's still funny!
i also have to say that i have good memories of the creek. there's just something special about it. i bet the jarrells have the same type feeling about the river where they grew up.
Yeah, they got sort of carried away with their own dam story. It all fit pretty well, until Logan tried to carry it a bit too far. I can't remember what he said, but it was a stretch and he got looks from everyone, so that pretty much ended our dam story for the day! ....It may have been something like he was looking for a dam crawfish...which kinda fits, but... Anyway, Grandma was cute telling her story and that is one that seems to have stuck!
Our creek memories! I still laugh sometimes when I think of the boys that summer dragging Logan's boat sandbox down there and putting it in the creek! What were they thinking! :)
i remember the story, but fill me in on the details again.
That was pretty much it...they just dragged the boat sandbox to the creek and put it in. We had a big rain, but thankfully the boat didn't wash away or get stuck in the culvert or anything. I suppose it just looked like a fun thing to do! :)
