Cay Creek Boardwalk

During our "destination vacation" at Gran and Pawpaw's, we were eager to find new, fun things to do with the kids. So one afternoon Gran and I drove the kids to the Cay Creek Nature Preserve where they had this long awesome boardwalk through marshlands out to the creek.

 I, of course, was clicking away on my camera, when Nathan asked if he could take some pictures with it.  Here's the shot from Gran's angle...

... and here it is from Nathan's!

I got Nathan to pose for a picture....

...and then it was my turn.

Nathan then took a series of the grass off one side of the boardwalk, which didn't make the cut for the blog - sorry kiddo!

Finally we made it to the end of the boardwalk.

But with no time to waste, Nathan decided to sprint back toward the tower we had seen earlier.

We were only able to tear Nathan away from the tower the first time with the promise of a "picnic" on top of the tower on our way back.

What kind of picnic?  An M&M picnic of course!

A fun afternoon at a cool park on a beautiful day.  And to top it off, the park ranger found the sunglasses that Gran and I almost left behind, and then we picked up fresh caught shrimp to boil for dinner.  It doesn't get much better then that!
