Unlike a lot of pictures I post on my blog, this is a one-snap photo. Most of the time I will take several photos and post only the best one. In this case I just happened to walk by Rebekah with my camera, she looked up at me and I snapped the photo, practically while still moving. Sometimes it is like that (and often, my best photo of a series will be the first one I take).

More from St Simons Island

This is called a bottle brush tree. It was amazingly cool and I had never seen one. In the picture you can see on the left a flower that has opened and on the right before it has opened all the way up.

Christ Episcopal Church... This congregation was established as a mission of the Church of England in February 1736. John and Charles Wesley both served this mission. The present building was built in 1884.

Georgia's fate was decided in 1742 when Spanish and British forces clashed on St. Simons Island. Fort Frederica's troops defeated the Spanish, ensuring Georgia's future as a British colony.

The lighthouse on St. Simons Island

Enjoying a beautiful getaway to St. Simons Island. Here is the pool just outside our room.

Carpenter bees are back. They find their way back every spring. And the kids have a new pastime. They whack the bees with tennis rackets. Great fun... like a video game. I'll spare you the picture of the carpenter bee graveyard.

Dropping the girls off at ballet.

Little boys who have not completed their schoolwork must come along and work in the car while we wait for their class to finish.

They also are forced to be the subject of Mom's photos.

If they are very lucky, a train will pass by, because that is cool.

A terrible storm passed through last night. I was awake listening to it. I heard something thump on the roof. I was praying all trees would stay rooted and braches intact. Thankfully they did, but sadly the bleeding heart was damaged by the wind and hail.

This is the second year we all filled out NCAA Basketball Tournament brackets. And for the second year in a row, Taryn was our family winner. Nobody can earn any points on tonight's game, so we already know she's the winner. It came down to the Kentucky/UNC game. If UNC had won, Joseph would have been our winner. With the exception of Taryn, the rest of us placed exactly in age order, so I came in third. Fun!
