Lost Lagoon

We made use of our Sea World season passes this past Saturday and decided to go to the waterpark, Lost Lagoon. The boys had a blast and the lines for the slides were short enough that Lamont and I even got in a few rides. Later in the day we went into the regular park and hit the log flume since we were already wet. I was suprised how well Carter and McKay both did on the drops. After the ride Carter was even saying what a good time he had on it. It was a fun family day away from other responsibilities. I would highly recommend season passes to Sea World.

McKay

With all the posts we've done on Carter, we thought you might be wondering what McKay has been up to. Here's two video clips.

Happy Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, the boys and I took Melissa to Macaroni Grill on Saturday night. Today at church Carter sang with the Primary kids in Sacrament and then I made dinner - paprika chicken w/rice, vegetable, and fruit salad. Carter had made a little jewelry box in preschool for Melissa and he was so proud of himself that he kept it a secret the whole week.

Father's and Sons Campout

Friday night Carter and I went on the ward father and son campout. Carter had been eagerly awaiting the campout for weeks. He helped me pitch the tent and then he rolled out his Elmo sleeping bag. We roasted hot dogs, made peach cobbler in the dutch oven, and had a campfire program with marshmallows and smores. By the time the campfire was over, Carter was tuckered out and ready for bed. It was nice to get to bed early and not have to worry about the young men running around all night. We headed home Saturday morning and McKay was so excited to see us. He missed Carter. But the little boy will have to wait until next year - you've got to be out of diapers to go on the father's and sons camp.

Carter's Preschool Class

This is Carter's last week of preschool. It's sure been a lot of fun for him and he's become pretty good friends with the other kids. One of the mom's putting together a preschool graduation this week for all the families, with hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. so that should be fun.

UPDATE:

Carter has officially graduated from his first year of preschool. The mom who put together the graduation did an awesome job of making caps, gowns, dipolmas, and even a slide presentation for each family. It was too fun! Carter is so proud of himself and I can tell that he and all the others kids learned so much this past year. It was a lot of work to put together, but I am so glad I did the preschool for him this year.
