Today we went with my parents on one of our favorite annual trips: to Clear Creek and
Cook Forest State Parks. We started out with lunch at Dr. Doolittle's in DuBois. We then headed to Clear Creek, which has a beautiful creek nestled among the trees that the girls love to wade in. We caught crayfish, just like I remember doing so often as a kid. Daisy was really afraid of the crayfish. Virginia is pretty brave, but once she was standing on a big rock which must have harbored a crayfish nest because many of them kept coming out from under it and she was surrounded! We had a great time. Then, we went to Farmer's Inn where they have a great collection of animals to see and feed. Leah had a special affinity for a friendly emu, and she got to see a sugar-glider. My mom bought some delicious cookies from their bakery which I, I mean all of us, scarfed down. Next, we went to the Indian Trading Post at Cook Forest, where we love to browse. We drove through a few campgrounds around Cook Forest and inquired about camping there Labor Day weekend, but found that most are filled! We're a little panicked because we really want to camp together that weekend, and didn't realize that even tent sites fill up for Labor Day. I hope we can find two together somewhere!
