Puzzle #491 - Two For One Special (Tapa+Creek)

Parker (or Mr_ParK3r2) really likes a couple of puzzle types in particular. Creek because it's simple and fun, and Tapa because... I don't actually know why but who doesn't like a good Tapa puzzle? So I made a puzzle with both Creek and Tapa clues that must obey all rules of both puzzles. There's a couple things that this implies that I ensured were not required for the solve as I don't think Parker knows those puzzling tricks, so this one is definitely on the easier side.

Full rules: Shade some cells so all shaded cells are connected and all unshaded cells are connected. No 2x2 area may be entirely shaded. Clues inside cell centers give the lengths of all groups of shaded cells in the up to 8 cells surrounding them, and may not be shaded. Clues on vertices give the number of shaded cells in the up to 4 cells touching that vertex.
