Playin’ In The Creek

When we got back from Creation to pick up Betsy from Grandpa and Grandma, we headed down to their property on the creek to cool off. With all the hot weather we’d had, the water was pretty low. But there was still enough to be refreshing and float down a little ways on the air mattress… barely. So the boys spent some time clearing out the channel so they could get a little further.

The big attraction though was watching the “tubers” heading down the Clackamas River. In the short time we were there we must have seen hundreds of people taking the trip downriver in just about every “craft” imaginable: from inner tubes to rubber rafts to logs. It was actually quite entertaining!

Looks cool and refreshing! You guys are going to have to come up to the river with us when you get back from camp - we are there every day!
