Park Place

I have deemed our yard a danger zone until we find the yellow jackets' nest. Not to worry though, Nathan got plenty of outside time at Canyon Lake Park. We ran around and played and fed the ducks and geese. Nathan got such a kick out of throwing bread to the ducks. He played so hard that he just couldn't take anymore. He came up to me and wanted me to hold him. That is a definite sign that he's tired. 

Running around, tiring himself out.
This is a lot of ground to cover for those little legs.
Gazing out over the lake.
"Hmmm, I wonder if she'll notice if I sneak away for a swim?"
Feeding the ducks.
This was his reaction after each throw.
Watching Nathan's reaction was the best part of the day.
Nathan said, "duh" for duck and clearly said "goose" for goose. He also started mocking me when I called his name....."Nanan."

I tried to keep this part of the park secret because there is no railing around the lake. No such luck.
I had to stop him from crawling down the rocks a couple of times.
I thought for sure Nathan was going to come home and fall right to sleep, but he tricked me. He did a little reading instead. 
Daddy is flying late tonight so we tagged along with Tyler and his mom and dad and went to Chuck E. Cheese's. That was Nathan's first time there. He had a blast. I think his favorite part was drinking fruit punch out of the light up cup. I had to pick him up and take him to the rides and games. He would have been content just standing near the drink station guzzling fruit punch.
Nathan is doing some serious thinking about which ride he wants to spend his token on.
Nathan is cruising around with his buddy, Chuck.

We got Saber back. Tyler and his family are going to Denver for a few days. Nathan was happy to come home to Saber tonight. I had to fight Nathan to get him to take a bath. With each attempt to shut the door, Nathan immediately wanted out to check on Saber. He would run down the hall and find Saber then he would run back to the bathroom. I would shut the door, then he would want back out. You get the idea. I had to lure Saber into the bathroom with some goldfish crackers. He ate them as I stuck Nathan in the tub. He walked out, I shut the door and Nathan forgot about him long enough to take his bath. As soon as I opened the bathroom door, he ran up to Saber like he missed him dearly. Then he drove his car on his back. Nathan must have forgotten that he has a room-sized road rug.
Saber must not have minded because he kept coming up to Nathan as he played with is car.
And that was our day.
