Happy 7th Month!

Hi from Georgia!

We are just over the Georgia-Florida border in a little town called St. Mary's. To celebrate baby's 7th month of growth, we decided to splurge and get a campground last night. We found a really lovely state park and checked in. In the registration office they were selling Audubon stuffed birds that play their own song. I had seen some of the birds earlier on the trip and decided that eventually I would get 5 and make a mobile for the baby.  They had such a great collection in the office that I couldn't resist. I ended up bringing 6 birds to the counter and the ranger decided that he wanted to donate another bird for the baby, so we ended up getting 7 birds. I am pretty excited about the mobile. Casey is going to help build the frame for it.

After putting the birds in the baby-stuff storage closet, we chose a great spot and settled in.

Less than 10 minutes later, we were hit by a huge thunderstorm, so we played cards for a while and waited for the rain to subside. The next day the weather was much more cooperative. We went on a walk with the dogs and took super-long hot showers. Now we are on our way to Savannah, Georgia to look for painted buntings (the ranger told us where we might find them).  
We'll check in again from there.

Love, hugs and kisses.

Where did you stay in St. Mary's? I wish I had known that you were there--that is where we own that piece of land, and you could have camped on our property! St. Mary's is where you catch the ferry to Cumberland Island. Did you buy your birds in the gift shop at the ferry?
