Spring Fling Celebration

Sunday was our neighborhood Easter party.  It was so nice of them to throw the it in honor of dad's 31st birthday ;)  We woke Carter up a bit early from his nap, loaded up the stroller and hit the pavement!

Carter was a bit groggy at first but he perked up as soon as he saw the petting zoo.  He started with Chewy the goat.

And then he spotted something else pretty cool...

baby chicks!

Carter had to get his hands on one.

After quacking at the ducks for awhile...

Carter was in for a real ride... a pony ride that is!

Carter wasn't too sure about the pony but he sure looked cute up there!

Soon it was time for the egg hunt but not before we snagged a few pics with the Easter bunny.

Carter waited patiently for the signal.  As soon as he got the green light, he grabbed mom's hand and the hunt was on!

It took a few moments for Carter to figure out the game but once he got it, he was a non-stop egg hunting machine!

Carter would clear out an area and the scope out another group of eggs and make a bee-line for them.

Both boys were in the 0-2 age group so Carter helped pick out some eggs for Parker too.

Parker choose to observe all the chaos from Grandmommy's arms.

After all the eggs were spoken for...

all the kids started going through their baskets to check out their loot.  Carter took the opportunity to raid poor Parker's basket.

After all the egg fun, Carter picked up a sword from the balloon guy and decided to try a new activity.

Hula Hooping!  Dad gave him a great demonstration.

Carter still didn't quite get it so mom tried a super advanced double hula hoop move.

Carter wasn't sold on the Hula Hoop idea so he hung out with the sidewalk chalk while mom and dad hooped.

The we headed back for one last visit with the animals.  Where Carter wanted to pet everything!

Carter loved his goat friends.  It's really cute to watch him pet animals and be so sweet with them

He even gave this goat a kiss on the mouth.

Soon it was time for the magic show so we quickly checked out the tulips and headed inside.

What a fun start to Spring!
