Carter's First Car

He's so happy to be behind the wheel!

In about 15 years you'll have to buy me a real one of these!



No hands!

Honk! He loves the horn!

Trip to Hilton Head, SC

We went on a trip with Gigi and Big Daddy to Hilton Head, SC.

We spent a lot of time at the pool.

We also went to the beach.



Carter loved playing in the sand.

Getting dirty is so much fun!

He played so much that he needed a nap.



We went out to dinner to celebrate Big Daddy and Gigi's 31st anniversary.

Carter was excited to be invited out to a nice restaurant.

He even brought his own spoon!

Carter approved of the food and of Big Daddy's entertainment.

Carter found many ways to entertain himself on this trip!

Carter enjoyed his stay very much.

Summer Vacation at the Jersey Shore

We rented a house with Carolynn's parents and sisters in Avalon, NJ

We spent a lot of time in the pool at the house.  It was much warmer than the ocean.

One day, we went to Sea Isle so that Carter could meet his great aunts.

Carter also got to spend some time with Uncle Andrew who came for a visit.

The first girl he's ever taken under the board walk.

The fresh air tired Carter out.

Aunt Allison and Uncle Adam had fun chasing Ryan all over the beach.

Carter enjoyed hanging out with Aunt Sarah.

Once Carter discovered that sand wasn't so bad, he loved crawling around in it.

By the end of the week, he was a regular beach bum!
