Day 31: Option #3

The question usually goes: Ocean or Lake? I’ve never understood why creeks don’t make the cut.

Truth: My boys put up a fight every time I suggest we go. Yesterday was no different, but I’ve learned to ride the wave because as soon as we get to the creek they be like.

And.

This, too.

The scene of our excursion was Indian Creek – about 15 minutes south of Oxford on Oxford-Reilly Road. I know my creeks, and this is one of the best. There’s shallow parts and some rapids (in the context of creeks). There’s a deep pool that had Jess wishing for his swimsuit. There’s rocks to tiptoe around, rocks to skip, and a sandy beach.

There’s a mud cliff on the opposing side for those brave enough to cross the rapids.

There’s danger.

And wild animals.
