Adventure at Slaughter Creek

 We were so excited to have Will and Christi (Scott's brother and his wife) in town from Knoxville this weekend.  Since Scott had to work on Saturday we all decided to head to a park to enjoy the beautiful
weather.  We decided on a park that runs along Slaughter Creek.  Bailey is a water baby so it made sense to spend most of our time along the creek.  She can't help but throw rock after rock into the water.

 We wanted to check out more of the creek and Christi spotted some gorgeous trees, so we decided to extend our journey. 

Will's makeshift bridge

It wasn't easy to get over to where the trees were, so Will made a makeshift bridge with some branches and a few rocks after leaping over the creek to the other side. 

Once we were across we were welcomed by the beautiful trees and water shallow enough to wade in. 

Had we been wearing rain boots Christi and I were convinced we would have waded into the creek, but that was not gonna happen with her Sperrys and my Sauconys.  

Bailey, of course, had no problem wading a little bit in the water since she was wearing her Croc boots (that Will and Christi got her for Christmas I might add).

Will and Travis poking a snake

Will and Travis found a small snake under a rock.  I'm not really sure what they were doing to it.  I think Will said he was trying to feed it a caterpillar.



 The rest of our time down by the creek was spent throwing more rocks into the creek (Bailey and me) and skipping rocks (Will, Travis, and Christi).
