Pump It Up Jr.

I took Carter to Pump It Up Jr. yesterday with a few of Carter's playmates. It's basically a bunch of indoor bounce houses that are toddler appropriate. He wasn't too sure about it at first, but ended up really enjoying it! We'll probably make another trip over there again soon!






 He decided to go up the stairs all by himself .....
 ... and would've been content to play up there all day ...
... but he wouldn't come down on his own. He needed a little push from a fellow mama.

Carter's friend, John, loved the play area!
 Mason was a little apprehensive about the whole thing.
 Mason settles for a snack!

Grand Cayman August 2010

We recently got back from our one week family vacation to Grand Cayman. Eric, Carter and I went, along with my parents and brothers, and Eric's parents. We stayed in a fabulous condo right on the ocean, and spent many hours having fun at the pool or beach. We went to see the stingrays, went snorkeling, did some other sightseeing, and ate A LOT! Even though traveling with a toddler is HARD work and much more complicated than what Eric and I are used to, we had a lot of fun!! Looking forward to our next family vacay!

Getting ready to take off and go night-night
He fell asleep right away and slept the whole flight!
Lunch with everyone the first day
From the other end
Finally make it to the beach!
He tasted the sand pretty much right away
A poolside snack? Yes please.
Back to the beach with Dad
He was kind of indifferent to the whole sand thing
Not really sure
Mommy gave him a sunscreen mohawk!
On the boat headed to Stingray City
