Tell Me Thursday

Water lookout

My Wordless Wednesday picture was taken while spending the day at Reed Bingham State Park located in Southern Georgia. We were walking the nature trails getting some needed exercise. There was an awesome spot to look out over the water, which is where I was when I took the photo.

There’s a profound beauty in the swamps that you can’t find anywhere else. The way the Spanish Moss hangs from the trees and sways when a gentle breeze comes along is one of the most beautiful sights to me. Our trip was not that long ago so, due to the colder weather, we unfortunately did not see much in the way of wildlife except for a few squirrels and some buzzards flying high over head. But we were able to see where the gopher tortoises have laid there eggs, as they were marked by flags. I have been told that on occasion you can spot Bald Eagles as well!

We had a great time! The kids really enjoyed themselves and if I remember correctly it was one of the first times in the past few weeks that they didn’t fight with each other! We all know that is a rare treat!

Jaered at Reed Bingham

Jaered, however, did not like riding over the roots that were growing up in the trails. He adamantly protested after a lengthy stretch of bumping about in the stroller. Next time we go I’m thinking I need to get a front carrier and carry him on my chest…

I would definitely recommend a visit to Reed Bingham. There’s more to do there than just walking the trails. They have a large play ground for the kids. There’s even a miniature golf course for your enjoyment. Many picnic tables, pavilions, and screened in buildings for gatherings. There is also camping, boating,  fishing, and swimming. You can go to the Georgia State Parks website to find out more.
