Cumberland Island Day Trip!

We signed Ben up for Cub Scouts and already this month has been full of activities. We were able to join Ben and the Pack on a tour of Cumberland Island last Saturday. The ferry ride over from St. Mary's is 45 minutes. Thankfully the weather held up and only started to rain just as we were ready to get on the ferry back home, but made a great cool day to walk around the island. We got to see the wild horses and see some armadillos.

Walking through the forest was fun as we got to look for shark teeth. They dredge the sea bottom and put it on the trails so we are not walking in mud. From the forest and the guided tour we got to walk on the boardwalk over the marsh and over to the sand dunes and then to the beach. The kids had a blast at the beach and got extremely wet but had to wait until we got back to the car to get dry clothes. It was cool to find some clam shells to take back home too.

The kids did well walking and Ammon hung on too with only a minor sunburn. Poor Baby! It was a great day. It was good to see Ben having fun with his Tiger Den buddies.
