Fun at Sandy Creek Park

Got the little Miss on Saturday....met momma and dada in Charlotte for the hand off and our ears will never be the same again as "Chatty Cathy" likes to talk and talk. She will entertain you with stories she makes up or songs that she knows and every once in awhile she throws in a "made up" game to play in the car.

So...to give ourselves and her a little bit of fun (break)...we checked out this Sandy Creek Park that I have seen signs for but have never checked out.

Here is the little beach...wasn't crowded...just nice for a little water fun. The water was like bath water and our feet were on a sand barge; which was so soothing on the ole tootsies instead of rocks and who knows what else.

Here is one side of the beach

AND here is the other side...I told ya...it was a little beach

Here we are having fun with Gampa...but he had to do a little teasing and Mabry was a good sport about it. Oh...Gampa!

Just to the right of the beach area you can rent canoes or kayaks. Mabry kept asking about going out on one and so Gampa went over and checked out the price...$5.00/hour and $2.00/hour after that...so we decided to venture out on the lake.

My two companions

And then....

We saw our friend...The Blue Heron

See him?

Is this better?

I think we were making him/her nervous because it was getting ready to leave in this picture

Can you guess what this is???


Now you have to think like a 4 year old with an imagination...

Give up?

In her mind this open area between the trees...where you see a dirt embankment...is a cave. Oh to have the imagination of a child.
