Creepy Crawlies--Tim

I took my girls to the park again yesterday. They both accepted the Walmart bags without question. This time we decided to leave the parking area and walk the path to the lake. My little one (Kayla) was running around picking up trash, happy to fill her bag. My other daughters(Hannah) focus was not on the trash but on the occasional bee that in her opinion was in full attack mode and out to get her. Several times I had to stop her from running back to the truck, she was not happy. While Hannah was looking to the skies, Kayla noticed that the water was full of frogs and turtles and she wanted to catch them all. After several attempts and some soggy feet she gave up. When we reached the lake Kayla found a snake and Hannah found the end of the trail, "Well, thats it, time to go back!" She exclaimed. When we turned right onto the new path her excitment quikly departed, but after seeing the truck in the distance she knew that the park torture would soon be over. Soon two bags were full, a couple of people who passed said that picking up trash was a great idea, doubt if I will see them with a bag next time, maybe? We continued through the parking lots and filled the final bag. When we got back to the main parking lot we washed our hands in the bathrooms which are finally open. The park is changing and I know it is a little cleaner.
