Carter's Weekend with his Grandparents

While Mom and Dad were both partying it up and relaxing in Florida, Carter's grandparents came down from Wisconsin to watch the little guy.  After spending a night with Mom and Dad on Wednesday, they were on their own from Thursday till late Sunday.

From the sounds on the phone, it was apparent that both Carter and his Grandparents had a great time.  The highlight was a long trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.  Carter always has a blast at the Children's Garden and showed Grandma and Grandpa all the fun, including the wood instruments.

He even tried to help show the older ladies (rumor has it that Carter has a little thing for the older ladies - more on that in an upcoming post).

The most fun Carter had was the pumpkin bowling and basketball.

However, Carter could not focus on the bowling and just wanted to play basketball no matter the coxing from Grandma.

Mom and Dad came home on Sunday, and Carter's Grandparents were able to stay till Tuesday which meant another day of fun.  This day Carter, Dad, and the Grandparents headed to Centennial Park and then to the Children's Museum.  Carter's short attention span meant that Grandma and Grandpa got the full tour of the museum two or three times over.  Carter did show a new found interest in the PVC building area.

He then headed over to the moon sand area with Grandma and Dad (bonus points if you can find Carter in this picture).

Carter even showed off his budding engineering skills with Grandpa

The new Fairy Tale Exhibit seemed a bit beyond Carter's years, but he enjoyed watching the birds go by the window in Cinderella's coach.

Then we were off to go fishing!

After a long day downtown, it was time to go home for lunch and a well earned nap.  Once awake, the afternoon proved to be beautiful, so it was off to the park for more fun in the sun (got to do it while we can, winter is soon on its way).

Carter has shown a new found excitement for playgrounds and seems to really enjoy climbing all over them after one of his favorite items, slides!

However, he still remembered to get some fun time in hos old buddy, the swings.

After a few more rounds through the playground...

We headed home and bid Grandma and Grandpa good bye after a fun and extended weekend.  We hope to see them soon as we are not sure who had more fun, Carter or his Grandparents.
