Beatrice loves Saint Simons Island...and cups! We went on a walk with Grandma Elizabeth this morning through the new Land Trust trail (www.sslt.org/naturetrail.html) to the marsh. Like most of St Simons, it was beautiful. And as we went in the morning...relatively bug-free!
For perspective I made Mom and Beatrice pose underneath the live oak (see them on the lower left of the tree??) On the way home we got another wildlife treat...turkey buzzards in our neighbor's yard! Yuck.
But Beatrice loves it all - the walks, everyone holding her, the sunshine, going sock-less all the time, swinging on the front porch, and...
...CUPS!!
Perhaps it is because we drink so much here (sweet tea, water, coke), and all of it with gobs and gobs of ice, but Beatrice has become entranced by cups. She sees one, opens her eyes really wide, opens her hands, and lunges for it. She hasn't quite mastered drinking out of a cup yet - think of a dog lapping at a bowl but on the outside of the cup. And any water that does manage to make it into her mouth ends up on her outfit after 2 seconds.
We had to say goodbye to Uncle Graham today, as he had to go back to Atlanta to work tomorrow. Sniff, sniff. But Beatrice loved seeing him again - thanks for coming all the way Uncle Graham!
