Hardeeville Catfish Festival

Yesterday was the catfish festival. We went to it last year and had lots of fun so we decided to get up early and head to the parade again. The parade was much smaller but it was still fun. They throw candy from the floats and that's fun. I even got two pieces of chocolate candy bars. Then we walked the midway and got a wrist band to ride rides. They are mainly kiddie rides so only I got the wrist band. I wasn't scared of any of the rides and had so much fun!!! There were spinning strawberries, a caterpillar ride, Ferris wheel (small), spinning swing, bounce houses, and inflatable slide. There was also pony rides, I rode a nice pony named Star. She was nice when I was riding her then she got very sassy and neighed a bunch after I got off. It was very hot so we headed back home for a few hrs. As long as I kept my band on I could go back and ride all I wanted. So later in the evening I met up with my friend Logan and her mommy. She brought along a little friend named Jessica. We all rode rides and I rode Star again that night. It was my first time seeing the carnival at night. We had so much fun and even got to see the fireworks from the truck after we left. Oh and I got myself a CATFISH tee shirt. he he. Enjoy these new pics.

A lot going on

This year has been another adventure in life. There has been so much going on that keeping up with the blog has been really hard. My Mommy was able to find work but my Daddy was laid off again in July. We are keeping our heads up and working hard to find something for him. In the midst of all the choas we did take a little trip to West Virginia to see our family. We spent a few nights up there and had so much fun. We went fishing at the Bluestone Lake/River. I did fall on my butt in the river but that was ok I still had fun. I got to see my NanNan and other family that I don't get to see often. I will had to get pics from Nana to post on here because my mommy forgot our camera... so pics to come later. And say a little prayer for our faimly if you get a chance ;o)

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!!!
