So life has been kind of crazy lately... lots of good fun to be had but not much time to blog about it. So here you go. A few weeks ago and friend of mine, Jacob and I went on a little adventure to Jump Creek. We got a little lost on the way but it made for some fun times.
We saw some amazing birds of prey... I think they might have been falcons but I am not really sure. But one thing I am sure of is they were quite majestic.
We then ran into some pretty field which need to be photographed along with the Jeep in its element. :) So then we decided to get back to our actual reason for the excursion but found some fun rocks to climb on. So we stopped of course. As we were heading to the rocks Jacob questions "I wonder what decaying cow would smell like?" I naturally was quite perplexed until I glanced to my left to see a sectioned, skinned cow by my side. I was taken aback originally until the PT in me became quite intrigued by the skeletal structure and the spinal cord etc... that could be seen. So Jacob then received an anatomy lesson. We also found other bones on the rocks which were sooooo small. It was pretty cute. Jacob found a humerus and then i found the Ulna so I showed him how the elbow joint worked on mini bones. It was awesome!
We also ran across a little town and played in the school playground which was like one building and a barn for the gym with giant tractor tires filled with sand... I personally loved the character of their mailboxes.
We finally found our way to Jump Creek where we did some swimming but only a little because it was quite cold. Went for a hike to try and catch the sunset, tried to avoid rattlesnakes. Well I did. Jacob thought it was cool and wanted to get closer and hear it rattle. Boys... After the sunset we headed for home but needed some sustenance so the logical place would be the local bar. Quite the characters. The bartender was very nice and gave us some suggestions for other places to see in the area as well as places to be wary of local po po as they are little sticklers on speeding.
