Wet! Wet! Wet! It has been a very wet day and even with no rain! I wonder if the moms sent any white socks - all I can find are a dingy gray, but I do have mostly all pairs.
The breakfast buffet was again a huge hit and it is so surprising what kids will eat when offered a choice. Biscuits, sausage, fruit, breakfast cake and cereal (listed according to popularity).
It started out as a fun outing to the Hacienda Hurt in Tre Ritos. The Hurts are friends who needed a light fixture finished. So, off we went. Mickey handled the fixture while the kids and I had a picnic lunch on the front porch. Then, off to the stream behind the cabin...
Charlotte was a little timid about the "pool". Hers doesn't have fish in it.
Will found some nice solitude for crawdad fishing.
Brock was being careful not to get too wet.
Then Jack, Grant and Holly made their way across the stream to Will.
Holly decided take a shortcut to come back across and Grant was there to help.
See no evil. Speak no evil. Hear no evil.

Holly decided take a shortcut to come back across and Grant was there to help.She slipped and panicked and thought that she was being swept away!
Grant pulled her out, but she was really scared.
PawPaw came to the rescue.

Meanwhile, back at Coyote Creek, we found a much slower, 
Why do all little boys want to throw rocks?
And all little girls are very cautious?
Will and the crawdad bait.
PawPaw is always there to help with the pole.
We caught one crawdad. Jack and Will found one baby and picked it up! It is about 1 inch long.
Holly was the fire builder this evening and had a lot of help!
We had a fun, tiring and wet day!
Meanwhile, back at Coyote Creek, we found a much slower, more shallow stream that we are all more familiar with.
As if we had not had enough water today!

Not quite enough for the crawdad burgers they wanted Grammy to cook for supper!
We had to substitute beef trail burgers, instead.
It is in a bucket and seemed to survive the trip up the mountain
hanging off the rear of the 4-wheeler beside the exhaust pipe.

Mitchell told a fascinating campfire story complete with dances.
In fact, he was not even still long enough for a good picture!
We had a fun, tiring and wet day!Luckily, jammies were all dry, because nothing else was.
Wet, muddy and dirty shoes on the deck, not to mention the feet, legs, arms and faces have us thinking seriously about that outdoor shower by next summer.
I think it would be a very good investment!
Good night from the tired campers.
