Playing in the creek is probably one of everyone's favorite activities at Vogel. It was definitely what the girls talked the most about in the weeks leading up to the trip!
Abby Doodle was not about to be left out of the fun, although the uneven, rocky creek bed made it a little tricky for our 16-month-old.
The water was so crazy cold, but you wouldn't know it by these cute faces!
After playing in the creek for awhile the guys started grilling at the pavilion nearby while the kids kept playing. All this food was so yummy!
The kids did this loop of running through this bridge, down the bank on the other side of the creek, through the creek (Aunt Alison would give them a hand to help them get out of the creek), back up the bank on this side, and then repeat the whole thing. Around and around! Claire did it over and over for so long on her own. I'm sure she did the loop 20 times before anyone started doing it with her and once they did it annoyed her. Hannah, Emily and Solomon were faster than her and it made her mad every time they passed her while they were running down the bridge. Ha!
I love her curls!
I caught all 3 of them mid-run on one of their loops.
Alison spotted a snake when we first got there and it stayed in the same spot for several hours. We moved the kids to a different part of the creek and kept an eye on it. After the kids were out of the creek for the night Bert couldn't help but go try to catch the thing. He didn't catch it but he did touch it and it slithered away. Ugh. I DO NOT like snakes!
We enjoyed a great dinner and then headed up to the cabin to get all the tired kids bathed and in the bed! It was a fun first full day at the park!
