The Beach (sorta)...

This past week - I had the opportunity to get away and visit my aunt and uncle in Georgia. It was amazing. The weather was perfect - the food was amazing - the company wonderful and two of my all time favorite things...the beach and baby animals :).

Before I share my week in pictures. I realized two things while on this vacation...

Walking the beach is wonderful - but I always end up a with a stiff neck and not knowing what the surrounding area looks like. I proudly carry on the family tradition of shell searching - obsessor. I walk the beach and can not take myself away from the shells - they are amazing and everyone unique. I collected my fair share and plan to make some jewelry creations out of them. Here are some of my finds.

I seem to be draw to the circular ones.

Some variety.

Please don't think I'm crazy with this story and next photo...

So as I'm out on the beach - my mind wonders from this thought to that... I think - "Joe if your out there, please put a really cool shell in my path." And what happens in 4 steps... This masterpiece appears :).

The second thing I realized (I actually already knew) - I love animals and especially baby ones. I would be the happiest gal in the world to raise baby animals all day long. So - not only did I get to the beach, I stumble across some cute friends at the neighbors...If they only would have fit in my suitcase - I know my mom would have treasured her souvenir.

Quick side note - just looked up what souvenir's actual definition is...

Not sure these bundles of joy fall under category #1 completely, but they would definitely be #2.

Meet the Kids - they were 1 day old.

Trying out their legs...

One whispers to the other - "Do you think she'll keep us?"

The Mama Pig - Super cute in her own way.

A little one with a big attitude. This one needed some tough - love training.

Just like puppies...

Hard to believe 1 yr. ago I had little ones this big.

Hoping all of you had a great week too.

Love and Hugs -
Rach

Rachel, I wish you would have told us you were going to Savannah! To bad you did not stay for St. Particks Day. It is suppose to be crazy. We would have loved to visit with you and your Aunt and Uncle. We did so enjoy their company when they came to Charleton. We have had some great weather, glad you were able to enjoy yourself. Come vist soon!
