My Bible study group met for the last time last night before a summer break, so we decided to sit outside by the fire and roast marshmallows for s'mores.  Carson ate graham crackers and helped hold the stick while roasting the marshmallows.  He ran around outside all night long in the grass, in the dirt, and the rocks.  For the first time in his life he asked to go inside!  He had so much fun outside he ended up taking a bath before he came home.  
   Today we ventured down to the beach and Carson had fun throwing rocks in the water.  We spent the day digging in the sand, climbing on logs and running through the grass.   A group of seals popped their heads out of the water at us as they passed through the sound.  We put on his sandals so he could go in the water.  He would get his toes right to the edge of the water but in the end decided he didn't want to go in.  I don't blame him the water was really cold!

Outside Fun

     Carson is spending as much time outside as he can; weather and parent permitting.  The neighbor kids were playing with sidewalk chalk and Carson wanted to make his mark on the ground too! 



Oh, I'm supposed to draw on the ground
not my pants.



     Last Saturday we spent the whole day outside and had beautiful weather!  In the morning we went to my Mom's club pajama brunch and went to a birthday party in the afternoon.  Carson was lathered with sunscreen, but the longer he was outside the pinker he got.  He did a good job of drinking water, but all the fun toys were in the sun.  We took Carson inside and he looked like a lobster!  We kept him inside and drinking water and soon his skin tone was back to normal.  Just today I noticed a couple freckles popping up on his face.                                                 Along with playing outside comes falling outside too.  Carson was wearing shorts on Monday and took a spill on the sidewalk.  His first official scraped knees.  We may keep pants on him outside a little bit longer.
