Tate loves the beach! So, it worked out that we planned a joint family vacation with the Witt's this year to the Florida panhandle. In case you're wondering: no sign of oil except for the anti-BP shirts in the souvenir stores, BP claims office in one strip mall, and cheaper rate we got on our rental house. Works for us!

Tate got to spend the whole week with some of his best friends in the world (he's the one on the right with the super-white hair): Walker, Lanie and Jackson.

Our little surfer boy. Tan skin from swimming a ton this summer to go with his bleached-out hair. The kid is a fish.

Tate and Walker: 4 months apart in age, used to live 4 houses apart (now about a mile), and pretty much best buds.
