Well as always, vacation goes real fast. We took at bus tour of the bridges ..taking what they call the RED ROUTE. The place we liked most on this trip was Bridgeton, IN. We only got an hour and most of us would have liked to have stayed longer, but the bus waits for no one...well actually there was a couple who almost missed it. We waited ten minutes longer than we should have, but they finally showed up.
Saturday Camille, Andrew, Brigitte, Gary and I headed for Turkey Run State Park. The kids wanted to hike. In fact Andrew had purchased a walking stick the day before in Rockville. It's really a neat thing to have when your hiking. We took a difficult trail..went across a suspension bridge..narrow paths, climbed many stairways. Kids enjoyed the different caves we ran across. At one point, they had a three levels of ladders to climb. NOOOOO with my phobia of heights that was not for me. It was time to turn back anyway..Brigitte is only 5 and I know her legs were getting tired. I told them to go ahead, but Camille said it was time to start going back.
If you ever are able to visit this park, you will truly LOVE it. They have about 11 different hiking trails and the accommodations look great.
In the evening with the help of Andrew finding twigs, we managed to start a fire. Brett kept the fire going by fanning the flames. We were able to roast marshmallows and make those famous s'mores. MMMM Good.
Sunday Gary and I were all alone...he said that it was too quiet and he missed everyone. However, we did enjoy that Bears game. WOW what an ending. Go Bears!!!
Well, it good to be home. We had good weather and are very thankful that eveyone got h0me okay. Enjoy some of our photos.
