Tommy Creek

I had this all ready to post and was trying to get rid of some extra space and ended up deleting two pictures and when I put them back on they were in different places... anyway, this is the best I could do second time around :)

Last night we went up the lake to Tommy Creek and had a fun evening playing and having a picnic. It was a beautiful, warm day and this was a perfect place to play with a dry beach, snow, ice and even running water! Leo made each of the kids a little boat out of a stick and they raced them down the creek.

Rylea made her own pole-vaulting pole and was leaping across the creek. I was actually surprised how dry everyone stayed! I was expecting all the kids to be soaked before we left.

There were these cool ice tunnels along the shoreline that the kids crawled through.

I can't even tell you how many times the kids had to go potty while we were there. Seriously, I lost track. I told Leo at one point, "Maybe we shouldn't picnic anymore until the kids are about 15!"

Malachi enjoyed the picnic too. He slept on the 4-wheeler for about an hour after we arrived and then ate a whole hotdog, chips, graham cracker and several small rocks.
