Vacation Nature Trails and Happy 4th of July!


One of the fun things we did while we were away on vacation, was to go on nature hikes...


Each trail led to new discoveries...


with most of them leading to the water's edge.  
It was easy to imagine the early Native Americans making their homes here.


There were a variety of wildflowers both in the field...


and on the beach.


Wildlife was abundant and we saw numerous deer...


waterfowl...


and snakes!  


Oh my!

On one of the days, we walked around the old limestone quarry...


and ended up wandering around lost for two-hours! 

It's amazing, all the different things to learn about and see so close to home.  We really loved the island and hope to go back again next year.

We did end up coming home a day early.  It was raining and cloudy on Saturday morning, so we decided to pack up our things and head home.  Now to get caught up on my mountain of laundry!

I hope you all enjoy your long holiday weekend as you celebrate this festive holiday with your family and friends.  

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
