Creek stomping ...

It's a term, most southerns know. But for those who don't, here's a good representation! :)



Okay, so yeah, we're walking in a creek, hence creek stomping.  My cousin Deb and her daughter Carrie  invited her sister, some friends, and Taylor, Aiden, & I to go creek stomping in a creek near her house.  So I haven't done this in so many years, so long ago, I'd have to really think how long  ago it really was. Did you get all that?  Too much thought process!  But I do remember it being fun!  Aiden took to it right away, he loves water.  Actually, I had to really keep a hand on him so he didn't fall.  He was wanting to go, go, go!  Huck and Sawyer came along for some four legged creek stomping too! It was really hot so we all enjoyed cooling off.




Of course, Aiden loved the mud.  His foster mother told us that he was "all boy" when we first met,  little did I know how much boys are different from girls. Aiden's giving me a crash course now! I've got a lot to learn about boys!



Taylor enjoyed it too, but I think she mostly enjoyed looking for geodes and other neat things you find along a creek bank with her cousin Carrie.




After creek stomping, we headed to the house for some lunch.  Aiden made friends with Cadence, she's three weeks younger than Aiden. She's so cute! :)




It's hard to see Taylor's creation in the picture, but what an imagination this girl has! It's a boat made out of the walnut shell  (pictured above with the crawdad), with a stick and a leaf as an umbrella for shade.

We had a great time with family and friends.  Aiden had a great time too.  He passed out in the backseat before we even left my cousin's driveway.
