A watery, disgusting, and AWESOME clean-up!

An old page out of a book, just hanging from a branch!

We did our awesome clean-up at Soquel Creek.

Looking into the murky water for small scraps of trash.

There were many pieces of paper in the trees because 0f the rain.

Through the deep, dark and damp underbrush in search of the

fabled garbage.

Yay! My sister Coco found an old plastic bag.

Ewwww! Something old and damp and probably gross.

Reach for the garbage!

OUR LOOT!!!!!!

After we did "Clean up your Creek" we biked around my

sister's school track.

Soquel Elementary really needed a clean up and it got it !

We went to Soquel Elementary with my mom because my dad had to work.

We cleaned most of the school but when we were done it still looked a little dirty,

but everything helps!

My sister picked up even the smallest things to help.

Shallow water, ok clean up

We went to my little sister Coco's school last weekend to pick up trash.

It was really shallow in the creek, so we could walk on rocks most of the time.

My dad is walking over the rocks with his little bag of garbage.

A shadowy part of the creek.

A soda can in the mucky water.

A plastic bag tangled in some low branches.

My little sister (Coco) looking for little pieces of trash.

Our loot! We each had a bag.

A Beautiful Place with Disgusting Garbage

The bridge at Waddell Creek, up the coast where we did

Clean up your Creek last weekend.

This is the view when you get out from under the bridge.

We went through the shallow water to get to an old rotten tree; we sat on it.

This is the view from the log.
