I can’t describe the feeling I had today. It was a great feeling that I haven’t had in a long time, a great feeling that I never get.

We showed up in our jeans and rain boots, ready to go! We had two bags, one for trash and one for recycables. We walked miles through the creek until we hit the main road once again. At one point, I was in thigh deep water looking around for trash. We joked the whole way; it was the first time that I’ve had fun in a long time. We did come across a dog that had died in his sleep; that was really sad. We ended up calling my mom because we were soaking wet and we needed a ride back to the nature center.

We then walked up to the park, sat on the swings, and hung out. We even had a contest to see who could get higher! Haha, this sounds really immature of me. It just felt good to be a kid again.
