When I was a kid we played alot in the woods by a creek. We fished, hunted craydads and just got wet playing in the water. There are lots things to see in the creek, small fish, big fish and cat fish.  We once found a craydad about a foot long, not kidding. At the time we were fishing off a dam and the one fishing was sitting on the dam, the crayfish was crawling up the dam toward fisherman, it was caught in a net. After our fishing, we would go to the pick blackberries from  Blackberry plants, eat some and take others home to have mother  make a blackberry pie. I and see one now.
