Vacation Is Good So Far

Other than the blazing hot heat, my back and shoulders being crispy red and a spastic dog that will not stop barking at us we are having a great time.

I am taking tons of pictures and I will do a big post later but I had a free minute and access to a computer for a minute so I thought I would check my e-mail and blog.

Jamey is out deep sea fishing right now, Sam and Nannie Annie have walked over to a neighbor's house to take her some tomatoes fresh off the vine and Riley and I are hanging out inside where it is cool. All is peaceful for the moment.

So far we have taken a boat trip over to Little Cumberland Island, have hung out and cooked out every night and visited a family member's pool. I also have also gotten a cutsie dutsie hair cut!!!! My hair is VERY short now and I really like it!

Tomorrow we have a trip planned to a kid friendly water park and we will play the rest of the day by ear I guess. I am bummed out that I didn't get a picture of the wild horses that live on Cumberland but between entertaining the kids, taking pictures of everyone and making sure my kids didn't get sunburned, too far out in the tide, bitten by a crab, stung by a jellyfish or "die" of thirst or hunger I really didn't have the time or energy to hike over the sand dunes to where the horses were. Maybe next year!!!! I did see them during the boat ride over and back but I had my hands full with Riley who was a little leary of the boat ride so I couldn't grab my camera. They are so majestic...wild and free. I LOVED Little Cumberland Island! The only structure on the island is a lighthouse and the beach was totally deserted when we got there. We had a party of 4 boats and only one or two more came the whole time we were there. It was so nice to be able to keep up with my kids and not worry about them letting lost in a crowd on the beach. They could also wonder as much as they liked and would not get in anyone else's space as we were the only ones there until the end and even then the closest people were about 100 yards away.

Well I better run. I am getting sleepy sitting here....I need to get up and move around a little I guess!!!!

Later Gaters!
