Creek

We may take swimming or wading in a creek for granted, but for these orphans, they have never done either.  The kids got to play in a creek today, and had a lot of fun picking up pick big rocks and finding little critters underneath.  One of the first things that they saw was a tiny snake, and the whole creek shook. Little Chinese kids were running everywhere!  They were soooo scared! After a little while, finding a snake became quite common, and they would get really excited when they found one. The children found fish, snails, and most of all shells. The little girls collected hundreds of shells. I asked them what they were going to do with them, and they said they were going to give it to their friends at home because they all liked to play with them. :)
