Fun family time at home

 

Hello, birds!

 

Georgia Southern University has the least fearful geese we've ever encountered. They only managed to steal a few chips.

George L Smith State Park

For fall break, we planned our first camping trip since COVID. According to the website, the campsite was 400 yards away from the parking lot. In reality, it was more than a mile.

 

We bailed, and found a nearby Airbnb. I would never think to bring a battery-powered Christmas light necklace on a camping trip, but it came in handy when the kids made a fort between their two beds.

 

Other than the misleading website, George L Smith State Park was lovely. The highlight of our trip was kayaking among the cypress tress in the park's Mill Pond.

"We're not in Night Vale."

Back to School

 

Hazel (5th grade) and Juniper (8th) went back to school on Aug. 2. So far, the year appears to be off to a good start.

 

We are hoping for a safe, healthy, and in-person school year!
