We had a nature walk at Fujimae Tidal Flat yesterday morning, and seven families joined us. While we were walking along the levee above the tidal flat, the temperature was about 35 degrees. However, as we walked down toward the water, it began to feel cooler. We had to cross a channel of water. The water came up above the knees of the adults and above the children’s waists, but nobody complained. They enjoyed getting wet. On the tidal flat, the children found clams, small fish, and tiny shrimp. Some dug holes and got covered in mud. One child just wanted to stay in the channel and swim. It was so pleasant to feel cool on such a hot day!   (120 words)
