4th of July Camping Trip

I’m slowly trying to catch up on everything. Carson’s first camping trip was a success!! We went camping at Standish Hickey Camp Ground near Leggett with my parents and my uncle. He did really well on the car ride up there. We had perfect weather! It was in the mid 80’s during the day and the high 40’s/low 50’s at night. We had to bundle him up a bit so he didn’t get cold, but he did really well. He loved walking his wagon up and down the road and liked riding in his wagon up and down the road even better! He also loved splashing around in his little “pool” (which was actually his bath tub when he was littler).

Here are some pictures from our trip…hopefully I an get my act together and get a couple of videos up soon too!

Carson thought Papa’s hat was pretty cool!

Pixie Woods

The last weekend in June we met Steve’s mom and our nephew, Shawn at Pixie Woods in Stockton. The place has a lot of different play areas. We weren’t sure if there would be much for Carson to do, but he ended up having a great time! And the weather was perfect too!

                   

Carson loved the bubble…he kept trying to get daddy and grandma through the plastic.

          

Carson thought it was pretty cool to steer the fire truck!

Carson still isn’t so sure of slides, but loves the bouncy things.

Carson loves swings!! Always smiling and can’t seem to go fast or high enough!

         

First Father’s Day

 

We didn’t do a whole lot on Father’s Day. We went to brunch with our neighbors then just relaxed.

Somehow I managed not to get Steve or my Dad a card…apologies to your both!!! But I did call my dad and Steve got a couple of gifts.

Steve got a new cocktail shaker…maybe inappropriate coming from an 8 month old…but oh well. But he also got something much better…When I picked Carson up from daycare the Friday before Father’s Day, he had made a present for “Dada”. I love the poem and his little footprints are precious!

Swimming

Last weekend we took Carson swimming in our neighbors pool. He absolutely LOVED being in the water. He was splashing up a storm and even went under the water and came up smiling. I’m sure we’ll be visiting the neighbor’s pool often now that it has warmed up a bit! We didn’t know it at the time, but he had a double ear infection when we went swimming…oops!!

He did not want to keep his hat on!!!
