We took our boat and floated down Turkey Creek this afternoon. The water was overflowing the creek banks, after the snow melt and recent rain. It was an adventure that we will never forget. We floated about a 5 mile stretch, for a little over 2 hours. We had to maneuver around some fallen trees, and a rapid current 
We also saw many tree stands, and a variety of huts and forts, on our trip. The temperature was around 40 degrees, yet it felt a lot warmer as we paddled.
We had to work our way under 3 different bridges, along the way. There was just enough clearance to get us under the bridge.
Hannah joined us about 3 miles into trip, as we passed by our house. She slid down the creek bank and into the boat.
Josh and I worked together paddling the boat, along with Hannah and Isaiah jumping in to help. and we really enjoyed it. It was a blast to spend this kind of time with my kids.
We saw deer along the way, and places where hunters had spent the winter in tree stands.
I came away refreshed, and in wonder of God's creation, once again. Without a doubt, it was fun, adventurous and exciting.
