A Walk Around Town Lake

This weekend, I took some walks around our local Town Lake.

 Even though it looks like fall in Texas ... it's not really.

It was 80 degrees this weekend!

I should be careful what I ask for ... but I'm really, really ready for COLD weather!

This was my walking companion.

  

 Sweet Annie.

Strangely enough, the ducks and geese didn't like her.

Every time I tried to get closer for a photo,

they hurried away. 

 

  

 I didn't mind letting Miss Annie swim a little.

  

that is ... until this happened:

  

 Crap. 

What did you do over the weekend?

 

A Secret Mission at The Creek

A couple of weeks ago, we headed to our neighborhood creek.

The boys and Annie needed to get out of the house on a Saturday morning.

And I had a secret project in mind.

Are you following along?

Here we go, we've arrived!!

I brought my nieces here last time they visited, and they left covered in mud.

The boys explored a little.

And despite the temperature, Annie ended up in the water.
Crazy dog!

Our mission at the creek? To gather rocks.

I'll tell you why tomorrow.

There are lots of rocks at the creek.

Why do you think we were gathering rocks?
Do you take your children to a creek?
