Down Time

Fresh from the cruise, and Mike's Blackjack lessons, he was quick to jump in to a game with Rachel and Nate. They played with pennies, and of course, the dealer won in the end.











Soon after that, Mike decided it was time to shave the old noggin. He and Rachel had a great time playing with the razor, and acting as if nothing was up when they called Mom in to look at the haircut. Luckily for Mike, they have now shaved the rest of it off, but for awhile there, it was like looking at Mike in 30 years.

Finally, Nate decided to cut his hair. We don't have any pictures of this, but the story is hilarious. He shaved his head the length he wanted, about 1/4 inch. He asked Mom if there were any long stragglers, she told him about one spot on the back of his head. A few minutes later, Nate called in Mom to shave the neck and around the ears. With the hair guard off, she began to shave those areas. Suddenly, Nate said, "What about that area that I had to fix?" Mom, being the nice one she is, said, "It's still a little long" and then shaved it. Oops, forgot the guard was off, thus leaving Nate with a nice bald patch on the back of his head. After the hysterical laughing ceased, we proceeded to shave polka dots all over Nate's head. Luckily, he's a boy and that complete head shave isn't the end of the world.
