Creek Fun!

Chip and I were trying to decide what to do the rest of the day after eating a yummy breakfast with Karlee at the Waffle House Sunday morning. After a phone call with Jason Kirk, it was decided Eufabee Creek was the destination. Eufabee Creek is where the Chewacla Creek and Swamp Creek come together in Tuskegee for those of you that have no idea what Creek I'm talking about!

Chip grew up with the Kirk boys and the Creek was a favorite hangout of theirs. Chip was a little excited that he was getting to take Karlee to do something with Jason and Rolley Len that they used to do. Christy and I were just tag alongs!! After a short ride on the four-wheeler, we were there and Karlee immediately took off down the sand to the water. She got her bucket and started picking up rocks and mud. She was in heaven with the mud (such a tomboy already!!). I don't think the pictures show it but there is a long stretch of sand along the creek side too, not just mud.

We had been there a long time before the rain came. It was Karlee's first time to play in the rain too. We thought "no big deal" because we were already wet. But, when the thunder and lightning started, it was a whole different story. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Lightning scares me to death. Jason drove all the girls back to the trucks and then went back to get Chip, the cooler, and the chairs. All in all, it was a very fun afternoon which I'm sure has started something that we will do often.

It's going to be fun to watch another set of Kirk's and Baker's grow up together. Karlee and Rolley Len are two weeks apart and the fun is just beginning.
