We went down to Savannah for St. Patrick's day again this year. We had lots of fun. Nathan made friends with all of the hotel staff, everyone knew him by name. While we were there we watched some Rugby games, saw alligators and talking birds, got caramel apples, did lot of walking, went to a (crappy) aquarium, and watched the big parade. Here are some pictures of our adventure!
At the parade! The parade started at 10:15, and we were sitting near the end of it. It took an hour and a half for the parade to reach us. It was huge this year! They had over 80 bands this year, and a lot of those were bagpipes! I love bagpipes! Nathan got tired half way through and fell asleep- even with all the noise. The helicopter picture is the one that David's unit was using. He didn't get to go in it this year, but he was in it all last year, so that was ok with him.
This is us walking around some of the squares. Since it was St. Patrick's week they color all of the fountains green.
I like this picture with the huge Catholic church in the background. We went inside it because I had never been in one before. It was really pretty. The ceiling looked like a Faberge Egg and all of the molding was marble. If you will also notice in that picture, the lady sitting by the fountain was taking a picture of Nathan with her camera phone. Weird.
We played on the field behind our hotel.
These pictures were taken at the maritime museum. The museum itself was closed, but we walked around the grounds and had fun looking at the koi fish.
These pictures were taken at the aquarium we went to on Skidaway Island. There were only 8 tanks at the aquarium and each tank had 5 fish in it (one of the tanks only had 1 lobster in it). The best part was the nature trail outside. We saw this silly bird who let us get way to close to it, and this 300 year old live oak that they were holding it together with re-bar. Good thing it only cost $4.
Here is Nathan showing the baby in the mirror his hands.
I can't wait to go again next year!

Savannah 2010
At the park
The weather has been really nice the last couple of weeks, so on day we went to the park to play. It was lots of fun. Nathan slid on the slides (he likes it a lot more now than he used to), and we ran around and we watched the dogs playing in the dog park. Nathan really liked watching the "puppy", even though most of them were really big dogs.

Another snow day!
We got snow again today! Nathan and I went out to play in it (twice). We had more fun the first time. The second time there was more snow, but it was much colder. 
Nathan really liked the idea of the snow, but he didn't like the reality of being out in the snow. We got a couple of inches today. When we woke up it was already snowing, and it continued through out most of the day.

Monkey Joe's
t
Nathan's friends invited him to go to Monkey Joe's with them on Wednesday. Caisen and Anela, Bryan and Jenna, Kendalyn and Logan and Jackson and Maddux were all there. All the kids had lots of fun jumping and sliding for a few hours. When Nathan got in the car to come home, he fell right asleep and slept for almost three hours. He must have wore himself out!
Cross country skiing & snowshoeing
Before we got to have fun, we had to get Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Russ out of the snow bank they slid into. 
We went to Harriman State Park to go cross country skiing and snowshoeing. It was a lot of fun! Aunt Heather, Aunt Bonnie, Audrey, Braedon and Jake all skied while Grandpa, Uncle Russ and Kyler snowshoe'd.. Everyone had a really fun time. Bonnie has lots of great pictures on her camera. Grandpa and Audrey went along the river and saw lots of swans swimming.
