Today Meagan showed us around her old stomping grounds including
McConnells Mill State Park. We took the stairway down from the parking area to the creek. Oddly enough, the stairway was much longer and steeper than Meagan remembered it from back in the day, and we both found it, umm ... challenging. Once at the bottom of the trail, we walked along the bank of Slippery Rock Creek, with its covered bridge, grist mill, whitewater rapids and insane people in kayaks. It was at this point that we learned that the creek lives up to its name: today it was Scott's turn to slip and fall. Luckily there was only a small scrape, and we had antiseptic and bandages on hand with which to patch him up. When it came time to climb back up to the car, Meagan made the selfless gesture of returning alone and coming back with the car to get us. We did not protest.
After the park, we went for a late lunch at
North Country Brewing Co., “where Bilbo Baggins would hang out on a Saturday night.” The food was delicious, and the beers (and cider) were amazing. (If you are sensing a theme here, we salute your powers of observation!) Meagan indulged Scott's t-shirt addiction and added a “Stinky Hippie Pale Ale” t-shirt to his collection. It definitely suits him.
Once back at Camp M&M, we returned to yesterday's construction theme with a replica of the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright home “Falling Water” in Legos! Now, Falling Water is in Pennsylvania, and not really far from Camp M&M; however the days were just too jam-packed to fit in a trip over there. But we can assure you, building this structure out of teeeeeny tiny Legos is enough to give us a sense of just how amazing it is. Here are some photos of our triumph:
