A Date with Daddy

Bryan has been working so hard on side jobs and finishing our house (yeah!) that he hasn't had a day off in a while. Last Thursday he was at a stopping point, and it being a nice day here, we decided to take advantage of the situation and spend time together as a family. Rix decided he wanted to go to the park and to ice cream (he specifically asked for Cold Stone so he could get the "white" ice cream with gummy bears - he always gets this!). We had a good time at the park and, of course, with the ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream??? Rix liked playing on the toys and Bryce enjoyed crawling at record speed away from us and eating the wood chips on the playground (so gross!).

Where Rix hates the swings, Bryce LOVES them. He was laughing the entire time, and laughing so hard he was drooling. It was really cute - and of course I didn't have the video camera.

Rix likes to play on the playset, and loved running across this bridge. So brave, right?

Rix has been rock climbing with Daddy and Crazy Uncle Dave enough to understand the concept of climbing. He climbed this wall more times than I can count! He's a good climber - Dave would have been so proud of his form (hips IN!). And I think Rix could out-climb me!

And, of course, a Pearson day isn't complete without a little wrestling at the end of the day. I don't know - I think Rix is winning!

Rix is getting to the age where he really adores his dad and wants to do everything that daddy does. So it was really good for Bryan and Rix to get out and play together. We are looking forward to the next Daddy Date!
