Nathan at the Beach

Nathan has gone on his first long trip away from the family. He left last Saturday to go to the beach with his friend Cole and Cole's mom and dad and won't be back until this Saturday. Nathan has been away with Cole for the weekend before but never for this long.

Sunday night he called and wanted to come home but Jeremy told him everything at home was good - everyone was well and missing him BUT Nate should get a good night's sleep and call back Monday morning. If he still wanted to come home, they would drive down to pick him up. By Monday morning, he was ready to stay. They had outings to the skate park and the water park planned for the day.

When Jeremy & Holly go to the beach with the children, they also have Holly's mom and dad, her brother & his girlfriend, her sisters (at least one) and some of their friends. The house is always full but it is always family. Going away for a week without any of your family is a big deal for a 10 year old. This is a great growing up experience for Nate and I hope he sticks out the week.
