creek monsters...

With it hot enough to fry your brain out on the river it seemed like a good day to wade the creek in the shade with Cailyn and see what we could find. We explored a tributary to the Little Miami and she had a blast, only screaming bloody murder a couple times. Once when a 1/2 inch long crawfish pinched her and once when something that looked to me a lot like a leaf "attacked" her. But even after her near death experience she was asking when we could come back again. She loved seeing a snake swimming underwater and was fascinated watching a big crawfish I was holding pinch chunks out of a willow leaf we were teasing it with. Coolest catch was what I think is a stonecat madtom though a big hellgrammite ran a close second.
