Nathan loves his strawberries. He couldn't contain his excitement when I gave him a whole one. At first he tried to shovel the entire thing into his mouth, which was probably 2-3 times the size of his hand.
He eventually got through it all, in a matter of seconds.
Who says getting up early doesn't pay off? We got up and went to a gymnastics arena for "open play". Kids can run around and play on all the gymnastics equipment. There were lots and lots of mats, a trampoline, a trampoline runway, a foam pit, a spring floor, balls, balance beams, and Nathan's favorite... A SLIDE! You pay a general admission and then the kids have the run of the place for 2 hours. We arrived at 9am as it got pretty busy around 9:30. At least the kids had a bit of time on the equipment before it got too crowded. We went with some of the other Canadians living here in Alaska. Nathan had a blast. He played for a good hour and fifteen minutes before we had to drag him away kicking and screaming. Yah for the temper tantrums!
Today we took a little trip into the base to play at an indoor playground. We went with our friends Tiff and Noah. Nathan certainly had a lot of fun on the slides. He couldn't get enough of it and was sad to leave. I'm sure we'll go back again soon.
