Mountain People




Well, I was convinced we had beach babies. Our kids love the beach, including Max, who simply crawls in until the surf is nearly over his head. Then Mom rescues him to the dry sand, where he simply crawls right back in again. I didn't think the kids would like the mountain streams too much....too many bugs, possible snakes, freezing cold water, muddy-mucky bottoms, less sunshine (ok maybe it was me who had some angst). The kids proved me wrong yet again. They all went in the cold water, skipping rocks and catching crawdads. Then the rains came and they played some more while I tried not to get too wet under an umbrella for 45 minutes. Perhaps we are "mountain folk" after all.
