Labor Day Weekend

Matt and I took Nathan back to the park that weekend. Here are some pics!

Nathan crawling FAR away from us without a care in the world. There was a dog on the hill. He loves dogs.

Apparently, the kid loves deer too. On a walk the other day, we saw a deer with a full rack in someone's yard. It let us get quite close to it as it was nibbling on the tree leaves. Nathan kept putting his hand out, waving at him, acting like he wanted to touch him.

After we retrieved him...with his mama.

Giving the stick he found to his daddy...because he was eating it.

Our friend, Craig, in our small group, taught Nathan a new trick.

He thinks its hilarious...probably because we do too :)

Oops, I almost forgot to add these pictures. This was Labor Day weekend so Saturday night we spontaneously decided to go to the Balloon Classic in Colorado Springs. Spontaneity is good. But things don't always work out perfectly! By the time we got there, found a place to park (several blocks away) and got to the actual event, it was at the very end of it. Matt had to go to the bathroom BADLY, so he raced to the porta potties and next thing I know, they are deflating the ballons!!!

So, I didn't really get any good pics.

Waiting for daddy. He looks scared, doesn't he? I think it's my flash in the dark...I probably hurt his eyes!

Heading back...

Nathan enjoyed all of the commotion and people anyway. Daddy learned his lesson to go to the bathroom before going to an event...the porta potty lines were ridiculously long. And we chalk it up as a family memory :) Maybe next year we will plan it!

LOVE the tongue hanging out!

Tell Nathan that Papa bought a corvette tonight so he doesn't have to wait til he's grown for the Datsun to get done! Wanna go for a ride?

Nice! I heard about this corvette. Do we need to get him a Corvette key chain now? :) Maybe you and dad should take it on a test drive...all the way to Colorado! Happy 50th? :)
