We also went on a boat ride with Rebecca on the Augusta Canal and then went and walked around the locks where the Canal breaks off from the Savannah River. The Boat's captain must have recognized that Sam is a natural captain because he let Sam commandeer the boat for quite a while. Sam, as you can imagine, was in seventh heaven. I think he's going to ask for a boat next year for Christmas! I sure hope Santa Claus is richer next December than he was this year. Hee Hee! It seems like each Christmas, the toy requests keep getting more expensive. Hmmmm....While we were boating down the canal, All of a sudden 5 great blue herons flew out from a tree and we got to see them flying around and above us for a while. That was pretty cool. The tour guide said that almost never happens because herons aren't flocking birds so we just lucked out. It was a really fun boat ride but it was so cold! I thought I was going to lose some fingers to frost bite. Then we drove over to the locks and took some pictures there too. That was a fun day!
