March

Here are some random tidbits and pictures from March.

Funny Carter Sayings:
- Carter struck up a conversation with an older boy in the elevator during our Colorado trip.  Carter asked the boy where we was from.  After responding with his home state, he asked Carter where he was from and Carter replied "America".
- When we left our hotel in one day Colorado, Carter stopped everyone before getting to the parking lot and reminded us to hold hands.  Mom told him that was very smart.  And he replied "I know because I'm a genius".
- Carter has been in a major question asking phase lately.  One day mom asked him why he asks so many questions.  Carter's reply "because I'm obnoxious".
- In Colorado we passed a sign for Carter Lake.  Carter recognized his name and said they named the lake after him "because I am very cute and my name is cute".
- Mom had a business trip to NYC this month.  Carter asked if he could come and mom had to let him know he couldn't.  He replied "that's okay because when I am big and my boss let's me go to New York, I will invite you mom."

Ft Collins & Wren's First Birthday... cont

We spent our last full day in Ft. Collins cramming in as much fun as possible.  Up first was the Bird of Prey Rescue Center.  Carter enjoyed imitating the bald eagles.
Then we headed to a little Ft Collin's gem - Swetsville Zoo.  It's a family property who took their farm and turned into a wrought iron sculpture garden.  We're not sure how the zoo name got added but it was definitely a wild place!

After the craziness of the zoo, we let the boys run off some energy at a local park.

After naps we grabbed a quick dinner and got in some last family photos.

It was a great weekend with the Burgess family, we all wish we lived closer!  And Happy Birthday Wren!
