So, I know the pictures will be very dark, but since it's night-night routine that's why. Every night for the last three weeks, the two stuffed bunnies in the bed have been made to give a performance. At first, it was only the ABC song. Lately, it has been whatever song is in Nate's head that day. Sometimes, as you will see, the songs get a little mixed up.
So, this past week, we learned two very important truths. The first one we already knew... Nathan is cute. We got professional opinion on it. The second is that we have no interest in ever doing a pageant ever ever ever ever ever again. (Is that enough evers?) Nathan won the "Beautiful Beau" category for boys 1-2 years old.
He won a big trophy that calls his prize (Or "pwize"). The cookie they gave every kid didn't even make it to the parking lot. He had fun, but we've decided that we just aren't looking to enter that competitive pageant world. Take a look at our cute boy.
ok, so he's heard the story every night at bed for a month, but still... it's cute.
Welcome to the Great State Fair of Texas. (Or as Nathan would call it, the Pair) The Dairy Farmers had this great little set up for little guys called Little Hands on the Farm. Nate got to do all the chores of the farm and then "sell" his farm goods for a "dollar." Then he got to go a store and "spend" his dollar. He's still talking about his trip to the "pair" and all the anninnamals he saw.
One of the great perks of having to travel to so many taekwondo tournaments is earning rewards from things like hotel booking and the business credit card. In just under a year, we booked 10 hotel nights through hotels.com, so we decided to take advantage of their offer for a free unlimited night. Melissa and I left Nate with Mimi and Papa and headed to San Antonio for a one night vacation. We stayed a the five-star Hotel Valencia on the River Walk. They overbooked our room, so we got upgraded to a balcony room valued at $500 (for free). While waiting on the room, we took the tour of the Alamo. Then Meli and I spent the evening on the River Walk, taking the boat tour and eating at a wonderful Mexican restaurant.
Then we woke up and headed for New Braunfels and a day at Schlitterbahn Water Park. If you've never been, this is the best water park I've ever been to by far. They use natural water from a river to power all the rides. The best rides were these tube chutes that float pretty lazily at first, then you suddenly hit a rapid and fall.
