Christopher "Freakin" Creek !!!

Moving to a small town that has no malls, street lights, freeways, movie theaters, gyms, or a store that stays open after 8 pm is my idea of camping. Now with that said you can only imagine my love for the Goodman camp out that requires tents, it's only a 2 night stay and I'm pretty sure I can do anything for 2 nights and 3 days......I thought. My only highlight was the Christopher Creek Cafe where we met for lunch.
Here is my trip from Hell's!! Agenda-
Friday:
* I didn't pack the formula and had to drive into town for the closes store.
* It POURED Friday afternoon and when I returned from town, half of our tent was wet along with the blankets and pillows
* Our air mattress wouldn't inflate thanks to the huge hole in it.
* Johnny woke up every 1 1/2 hours all night long

Saturday:
This is the day that everyone walks down to the famous watering hole. It reminds me a lot of the Grand Canyon on a smaller scale. Everyone talks about how great and wonderful it is, you spend a while traveling to it and then you stair at a hole and leave. I've never been impressed with this hole so the idea of going somewhere better was intriguing. Here's the problem Ryan Ricedorff declared it ok for little children. This is from a man who likes to spend his spare time doing triathlons. The mile hike was definitely not for small children or a woman pregnant with twins. When we finally arrived to the watering hole and I jumped in to grab Kimball I ripped my whole toenail off and had to walk out in flip-flops with 4 small children (thanks debi for your flip-flops)

Sunday:
Nothing to post here because I got the hell out of Christopher creek when we got back from the watering hole.

The only Highlight from that weekend was when Mark's sister stopped by to visit us on her way to St. John's and my kids got to play with their cousins.(I also got to hang out with my sister in law who we don't see a lot)

Between the wet table cloths, soggy chairs, wet pillow, lost toe nail, and stairing at nothing but a fire pit all day I'm pretty sure this will be the last posting of Christopher creek on this families blog.







Thank you Dale for sharing your dry blankets, for Matt offering his mattress to us and Jenny for the galoshes that Ella never took off.
