Carries's birthday was this week and we have not seen them for four weeks. I found out Friday morning that we are leaving for Ecuador on Monday morning, ( instead of Tuesday as I have had on my calendar for three months.) We had a party planned for Carrie Monday night. So, we finished VBS, packed a bag and headed to Jekyll Island to see my baby and her babies.
We have been to Jekyll Island many times over the years with Farm bureau. It has changed a lot . We discovered many new places, to walk, fish, ride bikes, hike, shop, and picnic. There is a water park, a bird sanctuary , soccer fields, 4 -H camp, a turtle museum , a huge fishing dock, lot's of shops, local hang outs ,and drift wood beach.
Drift wood beach is nature at it's best. Last night, Becca and I walked down the beach from the fishing dock to find it, but had to turn around because it got too late. This morning we tried again. But this time we parked closer and found "her tree" on drift wood beach. This tree is a wonderful huge gnarled, uprooted tree that is great for climbing , thinking, dreaming, praying and sitting on to enjoy the ocean. While Becca enjoyed her tree, I watched her and my daughter.
Carrie was down the beach a little way and I had the privilege of watching her work. She is great with children. She is taking pictures while the kids are laughing, playing on the beach and chasing pirates and mermaid and fiddlers crabs, climbing trees and splashing in and near the water. What a delight., She is chasing and squatting and sitting on the wet sand, and getting great shots. The kids do not realize that that have just had a photo session. They just know that they have found an adult playmate to enjoy the beach with them.
