Turkey Creek

Last Saturday, before the storms rolled in, we decided to go to Turkey Creek.  This is a park that has a mile and a half bridge that you walk on through the woods alongside a creek. The creek is stream fed so its water is always very cold.  We walked to the end of the bridge were there was a big landing and jumped in! It was absolutely freezing, my legs actually felt numb.  Jim and the girls claimed that they got used to it after a while but would frequently get out to warm up in the sun.  It was so cold that Jim would have trouble talking when he first got into the water.

Mary Varner wanted to go all the way across but it was deep in the middle and there was a strong current.  Jim ended up carrying her across to the other side.

Janey did get in a little bit at first but did not like the cold water as much as her big sister.
