We Went South and Found Summer

Living in the great white North, summer has pretty much peaked by the end of July and August brings a general cooling off.   We went south and found summer alive and well bringing humidity so thick you could cut it with a knife and 90 degree days.  Ryan's Aunt Connie suggested a fabulous activity, hiking to a little creek to catch tadpoles, crayfish and minnows to beat the heat. 

 The water felt so nice and cool on little toes.
 Ryan was introduced to tadpoles, and worked hard to catch them and put them in his bucket.
 Cousins Rachel and Sarah were BIG helpers with the little ones, holding hands to keep them from slipping in slimy spots.

 Amanda and her "favorite guy" check out a crayfish shell. 

 Anna is showing off her catch to Katie and Sarah.
At first, Ryan was scared to get in the water, but with the help of his cousins he soon became bolder and walked deeper and deeper (almost to his knees).  
 Finding tadpoles is so much fun!
