in summer when you go swimming in the creek a little to far down stream and see a huge fury, brown spider almost the size of your hand...when everyone screams and frantically fights the water to get out of reach of the spider. 
when you come across a warm spot in the water and yell "peeeeeee!"
when you see a stick in the water and quickly move away afraid it's a snake. 
when you have a huge mud fight and then someone gets their eye full of mud and the fun's over. "maybe a mud fight was a bad idea." 
when you sit in the shallow water and grab hand fulls of rocks, throw them and watch the splash they make when they hit the water.

when it's time to go you moan, not wanting to leave the cool liquid, and drag yourself out of the water into the scorching heat of summer and wish you could stay in the water forever.

this is what we did yesterday with our friends and had quite an adventure

p.s. i have no photos of the creek but the photos above are just a few from yesterday evening
