It was a great weekend for the creek party! Got a little chilly toward the end of the evening but we had a huge fire and that kept everyone warm!

I don't have any of these pictures in any kind of order but as you can see, we had a great time. I got to Glee & Ron's a little after 9 (I think). I watched Glee get some stuff ready to take down to the campsite. Barb got there around 11:30 and we loaded up the truck with the majority of the goodies. Ron followed us down later in the mule. Good thing we had a cell as we ended up calling him to bring a few things forgotten. Barb also needed to charge her cell phone and the mule works great for that!!

We went down around 1:00. It's so beautiful down there. You can sit and hear the water running over the rocks in the creek. It's so peaceful. The outdoor smells are wonderful. No traffic! Mike had his tent up but wasn't there when we first got there. Too bad we didn't know there was going to be a tent (with air mattress, etc.) because then Jim & Mandy could have came and brought Charlotte. The little ones played in the tent for a bit of the time and it certainly would have been a place for anyone to nap, etc. Maybe next time.

We had all kinds of food! We had brats and hot dogs but I noticed hamburgers and chicken on one of the grills too. I saw a lot of people I don't normally get to see. That was great!! We had a huge campfire going and as the evening got cooler we just drew up the chairs a little closer and put more wood on the fire! That was cool. The party eventually broke up just before midnight. We spent some time this morning picking up the campsite and bringing back the table, cornhole game and other odds & ends that were left when we came home. It really was a great time. I hope we can do this again -- maybe even this fall yet. It must be really pretty down there when the trees start to change!!

It was a fun weekend. Good to get away from the city and enjoy some natural outdoors!!!

well as fun as it sounds I still think both Jim and I would prefer Charlotte to be a bit older for that, even with a tent. I am glad you had fun, perhaps next year we can join. At least then she can walk, wear sunscreen and bug spray and then we could all 3 enjoy it more instead of tending to a baby in the outdoors.
