I love quiet days... 

Like the one my family spent next to a mountain stream.

 
We were there on vacation with cousins and grandparents.

It started as trail exploration next to a playground and ended as an entire afternoon spent under a tree canopy devoted to water diversion.

The cousins worked together to make twig dams and dig out valleys to fill with water.

 
River stones and pointed sticks became construction tools.

Plans were carefully sketched amid the pine needles.

The project took several hours.  A small portion of the mountain stream had been diverted around a large stone. 

It is a task that likely went unnoticed, except for those who hold it as a major accomplishment.

We went back last year to see if the water was still following the new path.  I couldn't tell, but the kids were positive that they had changed the course of stream history.
