New Experiences

The last few days have been full of new experiences for Carter. Yesterday, a firetruck and firefighters came to his school in conjunction with fire safety week. He and the rest of his classmates were able to climb in the firetruck, sit in the driver seat and interact with the firefighters. Carter's teacher, Amber, told me that he thought he was big stuff. I can only imagine! The team leader for the toddlers took pictures, so if one has Carter in it and I can snag it, I will scan it so you can see...I know I would love to have seen it!

We are lovin' this 80 degree weather in October up here! So, today since the weather was nice and we wanted to spend time with our friends Sarah and Miles, we went here:

Carter really seemed to enjoy it...in fact, even more so than I expected. He was really into the animals and would point at them and "talk" about them. He didn't care much for the walrus presentation (he cried, so we left), but he LOVED the penguins and the fish & sharks.

Enjoy some pics from our day at the zoo!
