What an amazing, non stop trip we just had to Savannah. Dela, Fisher, and I just spent a week staying at the Blue House, and hanging with Grandma Nancy, Babu and Nana, Lea and David, and all the Boys as well. We had lots of morning walks on the Bluff, playground visits, a big boat ride out towards Wassaw, aquarium time with crab catching, and pool time. Fisher and Babu caught a ton of fish, including a big striped bass. We went to the Pirates House to see the infamous tunnel leading underground to the Savannah River, where pirates used to shanghai drunk patrons to join their shorthanded crews. We watched trains and built legos, finished puzzles and collected eggs.
We had good animals as well, with some close, big alligators, tons of frogs, a box turtle, some deer, and even a big water moccasin (cottonmouth) snake that we caught and relocated out at the Ford. One of the coolest animal moments was Dela's very first alligator catching night. At two and a half years old it was finally time for her to stay up a bit late to head out into the marsh with us and try to catch alligators. Fisher was already an old hand at this, and showed off his frog pouncing skills all night. I was able to catch this gator, even though he was hiding underwater with the help of Dad's pole setup. It was so cool seeing Dela and Fisher touch and examine a real living dinosaur.
The kids did great with the late nights and busy schedule. I kept them going, although we did have down time just to explore the back yard, play a bit of soccer, and read some books. I imagine these gator nights will be pretty great memories for these kids, so I wanted to immortalize it her, where they can always look back and find it.
