Family Picnic

This summer has been so great for family picnics. My dad is retired, and my stepmommy, and mom aren't working. My dad sets up picnics all the time at a park by my sister's work, and she stops by with our adopted sister, Michelle, on their lunch break. It's always such a nice little break in the day. Yesterday, was a most memorable picnic. I know my dad was disappointed because he thought the food wasn't working out as well as usual, but for me it was just a fabulous time! Patty Nanna took me and Gabey on his first creek walk. I brought a change of clothes and his water shoes so he could get wet. We saw crayfish, fish, dragonflies, and ducks. I held onto the back of his t-shirt, and we just waded down the creek. I love being in the creek, with the trees reaching up on either side. It makes me feel as if I were in a different world. Later, when we went back in the water, Gabey and I ended up sitting all the way down, and playing with rocks, and bark, and just giggling away. I will always remember the happiness of those few moments. My mom took a few pictures of me and Gabey, and watched us from the bank. Patty Nanna lured some ducks over, and we got to feed them! They were swimming inches from us, it was so exciting. Gabey was having a fit! I have a ton of pictures, I hope you like them.
