Carter and Caleb in the car.

Caleb wanted to drive with us everywhere we went. We loved it because the boys entertained eachother and just laughed and laughed. It was cute.

Chucky Cheese

The next part of our trip was spent in Fanning Springs FL with Pete's sister Sarah and her son Caleb and her boyfriend Richard. We took the boys to Chucky Cheese. It was Carters first time and he loved it. He just ran from ride to ride. It was fun to watch. He loves his cousin Caleb so much. It makes us think we had better give him some siblings :) He would just laugh his head off at everything Caleb did. Caleb is six and was such a great buddy and helper to Carter. We love him and wish he lived closer.

We started off our trip at Uncle Steve's house. He has a nice nine foot pool that Carter loved. Pete's parents spend every morning in the pool and have decided when they move to Utah they need a pool. They are so tan I felt like a white ghost next to them :)

Carter loves to help Daddy

Anything Pete does is the most amazing thing to Carter whether its using a screwdriver to fix the glider or mowing the lawn. It is so wonderful to me to see how much Carter looks up to Pete. It's nice to know that Carter will have an amazing dad around to look up to and mold himself after. I am glad we have Pete and I know that Carter is too. He hands me the phone all throughout the day and says Dada until I dial Pete and then Carter takes the phone and wanders around the house jabbering about his day to his best friend- his Daddy.

Hogle Zoo with Carter and Jake

My mom and Dave came down from Idaho to see Andy, Katy & Jake one more time before they flew home. We decided to take the boys to the zoo.... it was a beautiful day and it went pretty good with the boys. The only problem is they like to walk all by themselves and never where we were trying to go. Thanks to Katy's brilliance we made our belts into makeshift leashes but Carter wasn't having any of that. He is WAY TOO independant at times.... but usually that is something I love about him.... so we rolled with the punches and enjoyed the day. The tiger was my favorite animal. I was bummed they didn't have a lion though. What is a zoo without a lion really? Lucky lions I guess :)
