Carter Adventure Day

Each week we've been trying to give Carter a special day where it's all about him. Which is rare these days since Jackson has come along. Last Friday was his special day. It started out as Mommy/Carter time. We went to Wendy's for a wonderful lunch (for Carter) and then hit the splash park. Carter loved it until he was knocked flat by an older boy and scraped up his side. Then he wanted nothing to do with it.

After the splash park we both took needed naps and then waited for Neil to get off work.

we had a pizza picnic in the park and then headed to Logan Lanes. Per Carter's request. We tried to talk him into a movie but he wanted to go bowling. So bowling it was.

He insisted on carrying his own ball. I thought for sure we'd be in the ER with a broken foot later but he did really well.

The best part about bowling for Carter was watching his ball come up and out of this "tunnel." As soon as he threw his ball down the lane, he didn't even watch to see what pins went down, he ran straight to the tunnel to watch for the returned ball.

The next day we took a family adventure.....we even invited Jackson along. We headed up to Tony's Grove and spent the afternoon playing in the water and walking around the lake.

Daddy and Carter enjoyed the freezing water while Jax and I enjoyed the sidelines.

Do babies get any cuter than this? He was so content to sit in the stroller and watch.
We had a great weekend together. We were getting comfortable being home again. Then Jax went back to the hospital the next night; which deserves a post of its own really. Carter has been so patient with all of the new changes in his life so we were glad to be able to focus all of our attention on just him for a day or 2.
