The Bridge to Teribithia

A tiny little stream, really just a drizzle of water runs through our favorite park. One one side of the stream is the play equipment. On the other side is a magical land where imaginations run wild and shoes inevitably get muddy. Mostly I don't love it when the kids come back with muddy shoes, but when they come back with their imaginations exercised and friendships strengthened, I can't help but let them cross that bridge once again.
