Today was a fun day because it was Cousin Samantha's birthday. Happy Birthday Samantha!
We went to Grannie Dee-Dee's house to celebrate (mom's aunt and Samantha's grandmother). Samantha had several friends over one of whom gave Carter his first car ride with a girl. He was a gentlemen and let her drive ;)
After the car ride, Carter was really excited to check out the fish in Dee-Dee's back yard. He wanted to pick them up and hold them...
So we quickly distracted him towards the main activity... the pool. but first we had to go grab Parker to join us. Yes... Carter literally grabbed Parker or maybe that was supposed to be a hug. Either way Parker loved it!
Parker decided to sit the pool part out and hang out with the ladies instead.
Too bad for Parker hanging out with the ladies means dress up time. In our defense, we were just trying to keep Parker safe from the sun.
While Parker was chatting it up, Carter and dad had a blast playing in the pool.
All the girls were running and jumping into the pool so Carter decided to copy them. Only Carter ran really quick and then stopped right at the edge. And then he jumped. Dad on the other hand kept going... right out of the picture!
After the pool we dried off and it was time for birthday cake and ice cream. After Samantha blew out the candles of course.
The birthday was a Hawaiian Luau theme. Parker loved it and took full advantage of the excuse to dress up!
After stuffing our face, Parker took the opportunity to play with Teddy. Teddy is the size of Carter, Parker, Madie, Brie and Morgan... times three!
It was almost time to head home so we started towards the car. But the boys got distracted by all the fun in the front yard. Uncle Micheal tried to entice Carter with a go-kart ride.
But he wasn't having it! He was more excited about the swinging jungle gym. Looks like all those gym classes paid off!
And last but not least, dad had to try his hand at the rope swing. He didn't break the tree so I'll call it a success!
What a great birthday party! Happy Birthday Samantha! And thanks to Aunt Dee Dee for hosting!
