Sometimes it's hard being a dad...

Parenting sometimes involves a great deal of sacrifice: of time, of personal interest, of other hobbies and commitments. This past week-end was an example of the opposite: we went camping, found snakes, played at the beach, and rode on a train (Thomas the Tank Engine, no less!). Actually, I felt like I was returning to my idyllic childhood only now I was able to enjoy a cold beer at the end of such an exciting day. Jamie's best buddy Benton came on the train, too -- along with his parents and his new (as of 4 months ago) baby sister Maria, who James was very curious about and insisted on giving a kiss at the end of the night. Enjoy some of these photos, especially the ones of James with the snake and the very, very cute photos of him and Benton together!
