You can dress ’em up, but you can’t take ’em out…
but that’s exactly what we did… we took the “kids” out to Olive Garden thinking they would act all grown up like.

and they did. for awhile. (Danae helping figure out the bill)

ok, this is good. No nonsense. but it looks like Nate is up to something…

…until Nate unwraps his mint. and rolls the foil in a ball. and flicks it towards dad.

Sunday afternoon we try going “out” again. This time only for an ice cream cone.
Danae is done with her cone, and Nate gives her a wonderful idea … tricks with a napkin!

Who ARE these kids?

I’m telling you the truth….it is a laugh a minute with these kids! (at least they aren’t fighting or throwing temper tantrums any more!)
After ice cream, it’s time for Danae to head back to college….the tearful goodbye…(haha)


Last minute advice from daddy….
Driving away. (I hate this part the most)
As always, its good when the kids are home. Nate misses Danae. They have always been close. Next year they will both be at the same college….
