Summer Vacation Part 1

We started off our summer vacation by taking a trip to Laguna Beach, California for Memorial Weekend (also our anniversary). We played on the beach by letting the waves splash us and played in the sand. Carson really enjoyed the water. He would only play in the sand for a little while then we were off to the ocean again. We also walked around Laguna Beach and saw all the shops. Since we didn't want to swim in the ocean we did some swimming at the hotel pool. It was a nice trip and wish we could have stayed a little longer. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Carson and I have been going to the library a lot.  There is a baby area in the library that he plays with other kids and they also have baby time once a week.  There is a retired preschool teacher that reads them stories, does finger plays and sing songs.  Carson really enjoyed it.  Since it's the start of summer, they decided to do a water fun day too.  They had different buckets of water and the kids could explore with the toys that were in the bucket.  They also had a mat with shaving creme.  Even with all the neat stuff around for Carson to explore, he decided to play with BALLS! Here are some pictures from the water fun day.

We went to checkout the Sealife Aquarium in Tempe.  It was alright...definately not worth $18.  We were lucky to get tickets for $6! Thanks Cristi! Carson did enjoy it though.  He kept pointing to the fish and trying to tell us something about it...lol...can't understand him though.  He also touched a starfish.  He liked looking at the starfish when they were pushed up again the wall and he could see underneath them.
