Playing in water

In the town up the valley from Black Mountain, namely Montreat, is a wonderful little park that focuses upon straddling a creek.


Many children in the mountains of North Carolina grew up playing in creeks in the summertime.


But many kids these days live around concrete, not creeks.  So I happened to visit this park when a big bus also brought a lot of small ones to enjoy whatever kids do in water.  I know I wished I had worn my suit and felt like sitting in it and moving some rocks around.






I'll show a few more pictures of these happy kids tomorrow!

    I spent most of my childhood summer days playing in the creek. What wonderful memories.

    That's a wonderful collection of great memories B. Playing in the creek, I never got to do that as a kid but I love to see people enjoying themselves all grown up as well as not grown up.
