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 was eyeballing Steve’s sunglasses.

         

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!!!

           

         

      

    

Play Date

Carson had his first play date with his friend Sofia from daycare. Sofia is 2 weeks older than Carson. We went over to Sofia’s house on June 12th. We had such a great time! Sofia’s dad made some great pulled pork and coleslaw! The kids got to play…it was very cute! The best part is that we only live a couple of blocks away!! We’re planning on another play date after the 4th. I know we’re looking forward to it!

Unfortunately we didn’t think about taking pictures until it was almost time to leave and both kiddos were ready for a nap, so we didn’t get too many smiles…next time we’ll try to remember to take pictures a little earlier!

                             

Ferrari Days

Saturday we went to Laguna Seca down in Monterey to watch Ferraris race. We took our nephew Shawn with us. We all had a lot of fun! Steve and Shawn loved seeing all the Ferraris. They had a few models for show, then there were all the people who brought their Ferraris and parked down in the paddock area as well as all the cars that were there to race. They also had some F1 cars there racing which was probably the highlight for Steve Carson did really well with the drive and being in his stroller most of the day. And he even kept his earmuffs on! Below are a few pictures from our adventure.
