Today was southern Georgia's annual Coast Fest. Rick was at a conference all weekend, so the kids and I decided to brave the crowds on our own. We saw an amazing puppet show (Ashlyn's favorite), got to touch all kinds of marine life, watched Civil War reinactments complete with muskets and canons being fired, face painting, trolley rides, sharks to watch (Blake's favorite)....

fishing boats to tour...

Snakes to pet - Blake's afraid of a fly, but jumped at the chance to play with the snakes, go figure!....

...sand sculptures to watch being made (yep, that's sand!)...

...tons of art projects for the kids to do....

...and an amazing Birds of Prey show that we sat on the front row for. When they flew the birds as part of the show they swooped down right over our heads - we could feel their feathers go by like a fan. One even landed right next to Blake! He's really been into hawks lately, so he was pretty excited. We had a lot of fun, but were sure tired at the end of the day.
