This is how we spent Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. We loaded up the inner tubes and the cooler and spent the afternoon on Copper Creek. Most of the creek is pretty shallow, but it's deep enough to cool off.
Cait takes a break from tubing to look for rocks.
Tom feeds himself and the minnows. (I was in the rubber dinghy when I took this picture which is why it's a funny angle. I spent most of the afternoon in the dinghy.)
Alex in her tube (also taken from the dinghy)
Cait with one of her finds.
Alex stole my boat.
That stinker......
Nothing to do but take pictures.
Nadja and Mike look for cool stuff. Tom made these little screen boxes - they must have a name, but I don't know what it is.
At the end of the day, five of us decided to float down to the swinging bridge on Double Ford Road. Mike was elected to drive the van and meet us there. We floated about a mile or a little less and it took us maybe an hour. It was fun and not too alarming. At one point we had to crawl over a tree that had fallen across the creek and somebody....um...um...one of us....um...um...a person had a little trouble getting over and accidently (!) kicked Tom off the tree and into the water. Backwards. Who?....You want to know who?.....Well, it really doesn't matter, does it?
Nadja and Alex were the first to reach the bridge and Mike snapped their picture. You can just see Cait way back there. Who knows where Tom and Cindy were. You've got to remember they're old - they do everything slowly.
This beautiful fellow lives on the farm at the first ford on Double Ford Road. It's a neat place to go, even if you're not in a boat.
I apologize to my Facebook friends who've already seen these photos. I just wanted everybody else to see them, too.
