Day 14THE big EVENT

Hi y'all,
 Im in the southern mood today. Its Tori. Today we did many things. Our day went like this: We woke up all tired,and went to break-feast in the hotel. I don't know if grandma told you about the trolly.But yesterday we went on a tour trolly.We bought the passes for yesterday and today.So we went on it again and learned about more of the town. So much history live in that town. The town beholds so much history and sadness through the historic acts that were made there. Anyway we learned more and we went to a haunted house, but we missed the tour and we had to leave. Harrison and I were really sad we missed it. After that we drove to this destination in Georgia.We checked in here at SeaPalms resort. We are here for the Grandparent/ Grandchild camp like thing. A schedule and everything were given to us to keep. One of the activities of Tuesday is watching Mama sea turtles lay there eggs. Our nature person told us that the minimum time it will end it 12:00 am! She said if thats a bad night, but they are having luck.

I am going to be so tired. Anyway I am exited of this week .Except I am the oldest kid in our group meaning, I read the most paragraphs and I help out more. But to be honest I don't mind,its still going to be fun. After the orientation of the routines and everything Grandpa, Grandma, Harrison and I went up to our room and got ready for a night walk. It wasn't really night, but still fun. We got to see flying fish in the lake and water birds. Our Nature person told us to look out for alligators here in Georgia. That gave me the chilling goosebumps. I think this part of the trip might the the most fun. Oh I almost forgot, we all got locked out of our room, so opa and I drove to the check in area to get a back up key. We were lucky because we thought they would be closed. But they weren't. When opa and I were driving back to the hotel, I spotted a fawn and a doe just standing there on the side of the road. I was so happy , I was also the one to spot the red Gekko as well. It grossed be out a bit.  I almost forgot... I just wanted to say....
                                           HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!!
 To all of the dads out there. The world would be nothing without you.  Thanks for being awesome dads!


Love you all so much,
Tori (Victoria)


Susan:
We might be beginning to look like the "Clampets" although we have nothing on TOP of the car...
We try new foods daily...mostly after someone says "I don't LIKE that".  Lord only knows what they will say Grandma said about how we eat.  Lunch tends to be around 2:30  and today was a "no-candy" day, even if you HAVE money in your pocket..I have my standards.  The drive was uneventful as we admired the trees.  Not even a WalMart visible from the highway.  We are thoroughly enjoying the audiobook "The Red Pyramid" .  Unanimous vote  to recommend it to all...still have 2 hours to hear ...of the first book.


The orientation dinner re-stated the rules: safety and fun, and Victoria had immediately read the roster and discovered the age range.  Most interesting is that there are only 3 girls!   The reading, questions and after dinner get acquainted games re-afirmed  that girl energy is still different than boy energy.  This is going to be an interesting week to watch unfold.

Our walk  after dinner was lovely even  though I found myself immediately consumed with ITCH...I did catch a photo of ONE flying fish and have to admit that you have to know what it is to recognize it in the picture.


The mosquito repellant "Avon Skin So Soft " was last seen this morning...we bought deet.
And, indeed, we, one by one , exited the room to be on the phone on the deck...with no key. ...who knows/cares who let the door close...Everyone does that ONCE on a trip.. Life lesson if you travel.


The WIFI is rather slow here, several minutes somehow to gather a picture to include...I will try for one more and sign off.  We have an aggressive schedule this week with late nights...I am currently last up...with request to turn off the lights...and we have only just begun...so we will blog as we can and try to convey the details..no photos allowed on the mother Sea Turtle sightings.
