Summer Vacation Part 2

Here are some pictures from the splash pad. I wanted to get some pics of him splashing in the water but I had to have both of my hands available. It was slippery and we found that out the hard way. Carson started running and as I was trying to get him before he slipped, he fell. It was a HARD fall too.

Trying to tell me something...he is so darn cute!

He uses his hands to try to explain things.

"I'm going to play peek-a-boo with you mommy!"

Here we are at the play area.  There were no kids around his age so he watched the older kids play a lot.  He would pretend to play with them too.

"The party can now begin!"

For some reason he bends his back like this when he is trying to impress people....I have no clue why...lol

Here is Carson with friends from our church.  He enjoys getting together with his friends.

 

Carson's babysitter this past year had her baby.  Since she already told us she won't be able to watch Carson this next year, we're on the search for a new babysitter.  We have a meeting setup for tomorrow.  We'll see how it goes. 

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.  

New Font

I found out how to change the font of my blog.  It's nice to be able to use a font I want.  Yay!

Signature Test

Testing my new signature.  Now that I'm on summer break, I'm looking at how to add to the blog.  That is also why I'm up at this time!
