Whilst in Georgia, we spent some time leisurely walking about the neighborhood.
It was on such a trip that Miss Squiggles discovered that there was something following her. She was initially intrigued by this phenomenon, but grew quite agitated that it wouldn’t leave her alone.
Aunt Jen came with us one morning and took us to a park. It had been a while since Squiggles had been in a swing.
Do you think she liked it?
We of course had to throw some rocks in this water, which apparently leads to the ocean.
I was delighted to see that people have palm trees in their yards in Georgia.
And also I was delighted to see so many flowers so early in the year.
The only downside to our mini vacation was an encounter with what the locals call “sand gnats” or “no-see-ums.” We were outside at dusk watching our nephew play a baseball game, and we all got attacked by the barely visible crustaceans and took home dozens and dozens of bites on our arms, legs, feet, and even between our toes. I thought I hated mosquitoes, but now I know that mosquitos are barely worth caring about. These pests leave bites that itch and burn intensely… for almost two weeks in my case.
Here is a picture I swiped off the web (not my legs):

I just know she was thinking of grandpa while she was swinging and throwing rocks in the water. If not please remind her.
Me..and..my..shadow! Do you know that song? Squiggles made me think of it.
And those bugs...so glad we don't have them here!
Laura, Squiggles is absolutely adorable! Love the shadow discovery, love the dress, love the hat, love the toothy smiles on the swing, love-love-love that girl!
Um, so you had me seriously considering Georgia as a place to move until that last picture... Yeah, I could do without flesh-eating bugs. What a bummer! I hope you are all healed up now!
We got attacked by no-see-ums at Crane beach. So it can even happen here- just don't be at the beach when it's comfortable.
Squiggles keeps getting cuter. How does she do it?
