The creek did rise and then some

The creek was flooded and the moms wisely decided to go to theplayground. The playground was flooded too, but we had our lunch with us and we did need to eat it. So we got out--just to eat--and sat at the picnic tables near the playground. It was just my seven and her seven. Funny thing, no one else was at the usually crowded playground. And then, the VWs arrived. And well, somehow, we always end up in the mud when we're under their influence;-). What is it about boys and mud? Did I mention how enticing the pond puddle was under the swing? How about the one at the end of the slide? I don't think Maryan will ever let me plan an outing again. What with two strikes and all...
But, about that tick we found crawling on a little boy: here's a local education.  Next week I'm sure the mosquitoes will be out in full force.
