Hangin' out with the neighbors

Wild Animal Park

We had a fun morning at the Wild Animal Park yesterday:

Nate loved the jumpy at the Reggae fest!

Nate got his first temporary tattoo at the festival.

This is how it's done at Jazz in the Park

Nate found a new friend. They had fun playing with trucks and dancing to the jazz.

Dave and Nate at Jazz in the Park in Carlsbad

It cracks me up how they change the wording for the same weather every day!

Happy Birthday, Nate!!!

Will wanted to help with the keg

Even though there were quite a few more kids, these three played together the whole time. They are the boys that like trucks (and have similar personalities, too). Miles is 2 1/2 and Brady is 3 1/2

I made a quick sign so people could find us.
