Nathaniel ¤ Nathan ¤ Nate: Camp Wilson

After the wedding, we had a great time at Camp Wilson for a week (unfortunately Scott had to go back home and work). It was nice and relaxing after the wedding. Grandma Geri had taught Nathan how to jump in the pool at the hotel pool in Birmingham, however, so we had to be on our toes with him in the backyard. Nathan LOVES the pool so we couldn't go outside without him wanting to go in the pool. Nathan reminded me of our old dog, Brandy (in actions...please do not think I am comparing my son to a DOG). Brandy used to stand at the door and whine and want to get out and then when we let her out, she would whine and want to come in, and then want to go out, etc. You get the picture. Nathan would just stand at the door and whine and wave and want to go outside all day long. Thank goodness for Grandpa Wilson who took Nathan every day to feed the bluebirds and water the tomatoes, and do other household duties, which he loved. I thought Nathan was too young for responsibility but he really loved feeding the bluebirds and doing all of his "jobs."

While in Atlanta, we also got to see Kristen and Annabelle and Taylor and new baby Ansley and mommy got to spend time with Jen, Lauren, and Amanda. Yay. We also went to the Georgia Acquarium which Nathan absolutely LOVED, especially the whales and the seals. The acquariums were so big (floor to ceiling) that he could go straight up and touch them. He loved watching all the fish, though he got a little scared when they would come up close to him at the window. It was a really great place.

Atlanta was a great mix of fun times and relaxing. I especially enjoyed the naps every day. :) Camp Wilson is definitely a fun place for Nathan, except for the fact that he had to be locked into one room the whole time we were there. The kitchen was the only room that did not have something Nathan could get into so we kept him confined there.....maybe as he gets older he'll be allowed to expand his space to other rooms.
