~ Childhood Memories~

My best memories as a child are from my summers spent with my grandparents who lived in a small town in eastern Colorado.
One of my favorite memories was going down to the creek with the kids I was friends with next door. There was this creek that was in cow pasture down in the valley behind the town, we would go there to catch tadpoles and play in the water. We had so much fun! I have never been great at swimming but I never remember being afraid when we would wade in the water up to our chests and splash around. When we would go home we would have to be sprayed off with the garden hose just to enter the house because we were so mucky and slimy. When I have gone back as an adult I look back at that creek and now it looks SO disgusting but I loved it as a kid. I guess that's the great thing about being a kid you don't worry about trivial stuff you just worry about having fun.
