The PCP just wrapped up his third year of camp at Savannah’s Oatland Island Wildlife Center. He signed up for Amazing Animals and had a rollicking good time learning about all sorts of creatures through hands-on activities, creative crafts and wildlife investigations. The highlights of his week were crabbing off the dock and holding Checkers the snake!
I adore that he has the opportunity to attend this camp each year, as Sister and I attended the very same and much unchanged camp for countless summers.
And if you’re visiting Savannah, the trails are open to the public year round with a small admission fee. There are often special demonstrations on the weekends as well and a story time for toddlers on Tuesdays. It’s a great place to entertain the littles for a few hours. If you go, definitely bring a cold drink and coat yourself in bug spray. I find early spring and fall to be the best time to visit.
After one last beach visit, a bucket of Daddy-O’s boiled peanuts and hours more of skim boarding and sandcastle building, we are on the road home so that I can throw together a fourth of July party in three days flat.
Already looking forward to our next visit! xoxo
I Know I Can

Shopping Savannah
I mentioned our rainy weather earlier this week, and can I just say that the beach would have made for much cheaper days. We ventured out in the monsoon to shop a few chains and a few locals. We went stark raving mad buying up all sorts of coastal gems at Home Goods. Corals and… Read More

Sweet Land of Liberty {Free Printable}
We’ve had a rainy couple of days in Savannah so in between a whole lot of shopping and an afternoon at the movies, I put together this patriotic Sweet Land of Liberty canvas to decorate the porch mantle for the fourth of July holiday! I had planned to order a canvas online but at… Read More
Porch Progress {Week 9}
Just before we hit the road I snapped a few quick pics of last week’s progress. By the time I’d left, the porch was ready for paint!!! *squeals with delight* The posts and door frame have been framed out and the crawl space cover is all in place. Inside, the bead board ceiling is… Read More
Littles in Historic Savannah
It was another great day down South! I typically blather on about all the luscious eats and enviable shoppes in historic Savannah and, outside of Forsyth Park and the free water taxi that runs from River Street to the Westin, I’ve neglected to talk much about what to do with your littles downtown. I get… Read More
