You Can Lead a Boy to Water.....

...but you can't stop him having fun.

I was shooting photos at an NSEA work party today. People of all ages were planting trees, weeding, and spreading mulch along the banks of Whatcom Creek. This boy was enjoying the creek as only a young person can do. When I first saw him he was turning over rocks, searching for who knows what. Then he found a stick and used it to trace patterns in the water for a while, stopping periodically to throw stones into the creek.

It's good to know that kids can still play without the aid of electronic devices. I wonder if Nintendo has plans to add stone throwing into creeks to the Wii Sports games?
