Grandchildren have a way of teaching you as much as you teach them. They open up the world to you because of their innate curiosity. Creatures in the water are wonders to be explored, touched, and talked about. We took our net to this marina today to see what we could see. Andrew and Braden were amazed at the little fish we saw called "Shiners". They are beautiful little fish which are silver on the side and when they catch the sunlight, they shine with a world of beauty. It was hard at first to get the fish in our net but they finally got the hang of it and looked at each one as if it were a treasure. And, indeed, they were treasures. Andrew liked touching them and then threw them back. He and Path are a pair because they both love exploring all that nature has to offer. Braden was like his Nana and preferred just to look. He did, however, take his turn with the net and caught a few too. We found crabs, clams, and jelly fish in the marina too.
