Water Wonders: Follow the Creek to the River

There's nothing better in my opinion than spending time walking in nature and philosophizing about life with a bunch of 4 year olds! We followed the horse trail that follow along side Musqueam Creek all the way Fraser River - a two kilometer walk each way. The children literally RAN all the way there every cell in their body brimming with excitement and enthusiasm!

We stopped along the way and noticed many things . . .

What causes the foam?






Why is the water orange?
The creek goes this way!
After an hour of walking we finally made it to the river after following the creek all the way! There was a dry spot for a picnic right next to the river's edge. Michael felt too nervous to sit so close but we all enjoyed watching the boats go by and the cool breeze on our faces. The walk back was a little slower pace but there was no complaining, what a great time!
We made it!
