Today we went on a field trip to Mellon Bluff Nature Reserve......we actually went to a different location for the never ending hike along the salt marsh. I would have enjoyed this more if the littles did not decide to conk out all the way out there. Zoe literally cried all the way back while holding my hand that she just wanted her Mommy to hold her. Mind you little Ella Bella was on my shoulders and I was wiped out too. Kendra was trying to help some but I really did want her to be up with the kids and the guide so she knew what was being said. Zoe finally snapped out of it when she saw an Ox..........a 19 year old ox. We were told that they normally only live 10 years so it was very old but friendly and allowed all the kiddos to touch and pet it. Ella Bella got within inches and decided not to be so brave after all. We got to see wood storks, fiddler crabs, banana spiders, caterpillar (unknown as to type) and several native plants to our coastal area.
Did you know the Indians made a tea out of one plant in the area just to sit around and throw up with their buddies? How disgusting! It was also their way in determining who was the strongest to lead them into battle. Odd but true.
