"Oh no, mama, hot dogs," "peh-os brrrr" and other tales of the weekend

Had an eventful weekend! Friday night Julie, Carson, Mom, Tom & I camped at Mohican. It was a great getaway to just hang out by the fire and watch Carson get a kick out of burning marshmallows and watching them fall into the fire. Not so fun to have Carson's little belly not like the Bug Juice that he chugged earlier in the evening. So early Saturday morning, we awoke to "oh no, mama, hot dogs" and a very messy little boy and sleeping bag. But Carson was fine after his belly felt better and we went along with our day like normal! We played miniature golf on a really neat course and went pedal boating. Carson also liked going on the slide and playing with the diggers in the sand with "Nana and Nom" while mommy took a morning nap!

Carson's early morning finally caught up with him on the pedal boat. He fell asleep about 5 minutes into our ride and took a 15 minute powernap. That lifejacket makes a pretty good head-prop!

Saturday night, we went to the zoo for the Hope Street Kids fundraiser. The zoo is one of our favorite places and it was a treat to be there after-hours with no crowds. We watched the penguins shiver "peh-os brrr", the monkeys run, the tigers drink water and the buffalo try to knock over a big bucket of water with its head. Pretty eventful! Carson also tried his skills at hitting a hockey puck (a lot like golf!), couldn't resist another BIG hot dog and cheesed it up with daddy and a picture of a turtle.
