Memorial Day - creek style.

The BEST place in Tennessee is at Yella (not yellow) creek down on Daddy and Mamas farm.  The rock beach makes the perfect place for a redneck beach..  Creek stompin, fishin, swimmin, kayakin, rock rollin, raftin and the best..?  Bucket jumpin!  The lazy mans way of cliff jumpin!  I was finally brave enough to take my camera across the creek on a raft in the water proof case to get some better pictures of bucket jumpin’ this year.  Welllllll worth the risk!  Ill let the pictures speak for themselves.  SO.MUCH.FUN.


Bip was by far the most cooperative, so..she has more shots than anyone else!

Wee little Wiley wanted to ride in the bucket but thought the rest of us were crazy for actually jumpin, so he just rode along..this time..

Even the old folks jumped, not without plugging their nose though.  ;]

Love the looks on their faces.

Tobie was such a trooper, all day at the creek – swimmin and rompin with the kids.

Daddio and Dan.

                                         Austin!

A day at the creek is never complete without playin in the mud.

Tater for a cannon ball!

Bip – AGAIN!

4 kiddos in the bucket!

A bucket full of tots.

Aloha!

Cheesy grins.

And just because I thought our setup was bright and cheerful I snapped this guy in between action shots.
I hope everyone had a wonderful, long weekend and that we were all able to remember the purpose behind Memorial Day.  Thankful for our fallen men and women and for their ultimate sacrifice.
