It's Like Having a Garden Gnome...

That's what my dad said several times as we took photos of Nathaniel at the various places we went during the first day of our Guys' Weekend. Don't let the fact that he appears to be asleep in every photo fool you. Nathaniel got into lots of mischief during our trip.

The first stop was the Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast in Evergreen Park. We thought it was a very "manly" thing to do. The photo on the left is from when we were spending a long time standing in line. Nathaniel tried the old "sleeping baby" trick, but it didn't let us move up the line any faster.



As you can tell from the photos, Nathaniel was excited to eat some pancakes and sausage. He polished off two plates!


Next we did some "manly" clothes shopping. Nathaniel needed some bigger clothes, so we hit a couple of thrift stores. As you can tell, he was building up quite the stack of clothes before we cut him off. We had to intervene a couple of times when he picked pants that made his butt look big...in hindsight, maybe that was the diaper.


Doing all that shopping, we built up a "manly" appetite. Nathaniel had 4 taco supremes and followed them up with 2 chalupas. We're not sure where he put it all.

This is a gratuitous "cute" shot
of Nathaniel sleeping between
the tacos and the chalupas

Because Nathaniel had acquired a "manly"....er...diaper rash, we
ended our outing at the drug store, where we picked up some Desitin.
