Creek Walkin

Each Spring you can find the Rogers Crew doing a little creek walkin and explorin.


This year Caroline was old enough to join us. She took to it like a fish in water.


Caleb spotted this little crawdad. Also known as a crawfish or a crayfish.


I love how God gave them the ability to look just like the creek bottom. This little guy needed all the help he could get. He was missing a pincher.


Pretty leaf skeleton. This is from a Cottonwood Tree.


Galoshes are a creek walkers best friend.



Then we walked over to the little pond. Can you see the fish? There are 3 of them.



Found the first water striders of the year. Not the best picture, but there are two little guys there.


We've had quite the bit of rain this Spring. So we've had quite the bit of these. I would love to get a mushroom field guide. But I am sure these mushrooms are pretty common.


Next year Charlotte will be old enough to join us too!

oh, these are the good times for sure:)

I say having no structured nature study in the summer is the way to go:) Everyone seems to enjoy themselves better.
