Day of birthday-pony-fun!

Heidi has decided that we're not getting lots of comments on our blogs lately because everyone is jealous of us. While this might be true, I'm more inclined to think that it's because you're all busy after the holiday weekend. Anyways, I don't blog for comments,(though I am fond of them) but Heidi REALLY likes them. Go comment on her blog and make her smile!

Yesterday we had a beachy walk, a road trip, a birthday party, a wildlife adventure, and other fine adventures. It's been rather chilly here this week, which we've enjoyed. Chilly and windy.

Here are some yellow thistles being tossed by the wind:

Later, we drove around a bit on the Eastern Shore, checking out Princess Anne, which has beautiful old houses everywhere and HUGE magnolia trees. I didn't get enough photos there, which is a sad thing that happens to me sometimes. When we got back to the house, we had a birthday party for Meredith. Her bday was really a month ago, but we didn't get to celebrate it with her.

Who doesn't love a birthday party?

She's full of hot air.

We even had balloons. If you want to see what happened with the balloons, you have to visit Heidi's blog.  Believe me, it's worth it.

We went to Assateague after our amazingly delicious dinner and drove the "loop." We saw some loveliness and some PONIES.

See that bit of blue there? We think it's an indigo bunting.

We were excited by the sight of ponies far away. It was our first glimpse. But those pictures aren't very exciting. BECAUSE the ones we took afterwards were even better! We were driving up towards the beach, and the ponies were in a much better position.

They had baby ponies with them. A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

Here, Meredith kept telling me to move back, move back. Her secret ploy to have me fall backwards into the swamp. I didn't though.

Coming back from the beach, the ponies were standing in the middle of the road! It was pretty dark, and we didn't want to get out of the Jeep, so these bad pics are as good as it got.
