Day 26: The best things in life are free


So, we had Thanksgiving dinner with the other side of the house this afternoon, and there was some after-dinner talk about what to get the kids for Christmas.  

Then we decided to take a stroll down to the creek, it being such a fine sunny day and all.

The kids had a great time throwing rocks in the creek and watching them splash.  We practically had to drag them away, because they didn't want to stop!

I'll bet there aren't many things we could spend our money on that they'd enjoy any more than a walk to the creek bank, where there is a good supply of rocks to throw. 


Big throw!  


Just look at these silly goons.  




And there's a mysterious looking girl up there above the mysterious-looking tree root.



The shapes and colors of the rocks are endless, and they all contain a record of some era in our earth's history.  I wish I remembered more from my college geology class!
