My Date with Nate

Nate and I went out for the day. Just the two of us. By request, we went to Fuddpucker's to play on the playground after we ate.

 He signed his name.

 Nate Dogg. You can't see it very good. I didn't have a marker.

 Back to climbing.

After we left we went to the beach playground. When we walked up this is what we saw. I wish I would have waited on my Christmas card picture now.

 We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out at the beach.

 The water was a little chilly, but it felt so good up to our ankles.

We haven't been to the beach for a while so it was nice to get out there. It was perfect weather for just hanging out.

Of course, Nate didn't stay dry for long. He never does. He couldn't resist sitting down and playing in the sand.

 That just meant we had to stay and play for the rest of the day while his pants dried.

 He's come a long way from being that shy little kid who wouldn't dare try anything dangerous!

 I had to promise to bring him back next weekend to get him to leave.

 And a promise for an ice cream sundae afterwards, too!
