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!

Amtrak

This weekend my Grandma and Grandpa came to visit me. They took me on a great trip. We left Savannah Ga on Amtrak and arrived in Charleston SC. There were so many new things to see that day. After arriving in Charleston we took a public transportation bus to downtown. We went to the Children's Museum where I explored many different things and had a great time playing. Then we rode a trolley to Waterfront Park where I got my swim trunks on and played in the fountains and Pineapple fountain. Lunch was wonderful at the Steakhouse/Brewery. After walking through City Market I fell asleep while we walked all the way back to the Visitors Center where we got back on the bus to head back to the train station. It was so much fun to be on a real train and see everything. We went to the dining car and the Conductor's were SO NICE!!! On the way home the Conductor took me to the back car to look out of the back of the train and he let me wear his hat!!! It was really an adventure I will NEVER FORGET!!! We did lots of other stuff while they were here also. They got here on Thursday and stayed till Wednesday morning. So I was able to spend a lot of time with them which I really enjoyed since I hadn't seen them in so long!!!

Thank you Daddy!!!

Today is Father's Day and I have the best one in the whole wide world. I have so much fun with you! Spending the day playing in the backyard with water guns and my pool was so fun. Then taking you to dinner in Savannah, going down to Riverstreet to see the boats, and then being able to ride the trolley with you was perfect. It was the first time I got to ride a trolley that rode on rails!! And taking it back to the candy store to get ice cream and eating it by the water watching the big cargo ships head out was so cool. Thank you for all you do for me and teach me. I love you to the moon and back!!!

Bee City

Saturday June 12 we went on an adventure. Me, momma, and daddy went to a place called Bee City in Cottegeville SC. It was a really cute petting zoo with lots of different animals. I was able to feed monkeys and lemurs..they would take the food right out of my hand which was really cool. Their little hands were so soft and they were nice. The big animals we fed were goats, lamas, and alpacas. We also saw koi fish, little horses, donkeys, a baby mule, rabbits, parrots, tortoises, parrots, wallaby, turkeys, pheasants, quail, chickens, snakes, fish, alligators... me and momma petted the alligator while the man held it. We watched the bees come in with pollen on their legs and how they make honey. In the gift shop we got a little jar of honey and homemade honey mustard. It was so much fun to get out and about. Oh and after that we went into Charleston and I got a new engine for my n gauge train that will drive up the mountain that daddy built me for my birthday!!! It was a really great weekend.
