We spent a Wednesday through Saturday at Jack Creek Campground, near Camp Sherman/Sisters, with Ryan's parents this last week, and had an absolute ball. Our campsite was ideal, a huge one with tons of dirt, big rocks, little hills for Tonka trucks to roll down. The kids had a fabulous time, I just can't get enough of watching them play together, watching this little brother-big sister relationship grow.
We visited "Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery", the kids and my first experience with such a place. It was very cool! We fed the fish more "dog food" (as Em called it) than they could ever want, and watched them jump into the air to nibble it, so exciting.
We also made a hike to the head of Jack Creek, about a 2 mile round trip. The trek was a beautiful one, the weather was perfect. It's always fascinating to see the water come right out of the hill, or out from under the roots of a tree.
We also did a quick trip to a little pond so Emily could get her new "Cars" fishing pole into the water. Sadly, the little red pole would not see a fish, but Papa Spain was able to nab a little trout, to which Em grew very fond of! She was fascinated by the whole experience, watched dad "get the yucky out", carried the little bugger to the campfire, threw on some "Lowry's" and enjoyed the fruits of the labor. My little outdoorsgirl, I'm so proud.
We will definitely be returning to this place in the future. Thanks to Susan and Arley for showing us such a wonderful place, and for serving us such yummy meals in true Chef Susan style.
