Slippery stones and little fish...not a good combination. But where would we be without wondering at those stupid fish? Probably a lot drier, but much less experienced.

I've had my share of wet shoes - well, boots actually - was never allowed to roam - with my good paten mary jane's on. No matter how hard one tries - to perfect the path - surprises and the unexpected - have a way of upsetting things. It is hard when things are misunderstood ♥

I guess Mom will have to think of a new way to tell little girl about being careful. Very cute.
