Crawdads

We had an amazing time exploring the creek looking for crawdads. We gave everyone cups so we could catch a few and observe them up close.

It was nice to get our feet in the water to cool off while we drew pictures on rocks with sandstone.

We also discovered a natural mystery -- some small white eggs in what appeared to be a little nest in the creek. After looking into it we think they might be water snake eggs.

The kids were inspired to decorate the ladder on our tree platform.
