My Creek

This is my creek- The Minnehaha Creek. I love going for walks there. I get to run and gallop. I get to me interesting people (like joggers and bicyclists) and dogs.

Best of all, I get to throw rocks, leaves, and sticks into the creek. Daddy always helps me find the biggest rocks to toss in. Those are my favorite- they make a HUGE splash!





Woo!Hoo! That rock made the biggest splash I have ever seen. This is awesome!

There's usually more water in the creek, but since it hasn't rained a lot, the creek is drying up. Because of this, I found alot of things-a sleeping fishy, a glass bottle, a can, a shell, and some smelly weeds. I made sure to investigate each of them thoroughly.





Don't worry, this tree is not attacking me. It just sad and that's why it's weeping. It was fun to run underneath it. Oh, I see a bridge. That's another great spot to throw rocks and leaves into the water. Follow me...









What do you think mommy and I are doing? She's teaching me how to spit in the water below us, of course. I didn't think mommy was so cool! Apparently, you're supposed to spit in the water and make a wish. If you say the wish before the spit hits the water, it'll come true. Hmmm...I wonder where mommy learned that?







Our walk eventually came to an end, but not until I picked up every stick I could find. The next time we come to the creek I'll have lots of things to throw into it!
