Camp Tree of Life

Today we sat out on another adventure. Petting zoos are so much fun that we found another to go to. We had to drive all the way to Midway, GA but it was well worth it. There were so many different animals to meet. First we met some wonderful little miniature horses, a camel, buffalo, lamas, pigs, horses, geese, ducks, rabbits, chickens, roosters, donkeys, goats, and a deer named Bambi. After getting a chance to fed/pet most of those animals it was finally time to take a ride on a horse. Our guide led the horse all around and I was able to ride it. I wasn't scared at all and I held on tight. After the petting zoo we went on a walk down Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center. It's a long boardwalk that is a really nice walk to see nature. It was a really hot day so really all we saw were dragonflies, crabbies, and a white bird.

Oatland Island July 17th

Oatland Island was another adventure we wanted to go see. So the morning of July 17th we sat out to walk the reserve. There were two bobcats that were having birthdays that day so it was extra special. The only down side was it was so hot outside we were miserable. But seeing all the animals were so worth it. It was really an amazing time and so much fun. We will definitely go back again. There were a few animals that were not on exhibit but we did get to see a lot. I also got a little stuff armadillo which I still play with often. We saw alligators, wolves, deer, goats, turkeys, a fox, armadillos, eagles, falcons, and tons of other things. Hope you enjoy the pics!!!

July 10th

It has been way to long since I have been on the blog but a lot has been going on. Back on July 10th we sat out on an adventure and ended up in Walterboro SC. We stopped at a few cool places on the way. Downtown is really cool with lots of antique stores and there is a huge water tower. A local told us that back in the old days they used to bottom of the water tower as a jail. There was a 8pm curfew in the town and if you couldn't afford a hotel you could check into the jail for free for the night. But if you were caught out after curfew you were arrested and got 30 days in jail. Its a really small space and most who were incarcerated died. Probably from heat/cold or mold from the water tower. We also went to the SC Artisans Center. It features arts and crafts made by talented people all over South Carolina. The day ended with us stopping at Dairy Land for an ice cream. We had such a great time and learned so much!
