BEFORE THE SECOND WAVE

The second wave of weekend visitors will start arriving this afternoon. With the first wave having arrived yesterday, I took Hunter to Bear Creek Park this morning to burn some energy and kill some time.

Hunter occupies the passenger seat of my pickup as we head to Bear Creek Park.

Hunter, shown in the middle of this photo, spent nearly two hours on the climbing structure.

Before leaving Bear Creek Park, a maintenance employee deputized Hunter with a police badge.
