Birthday activities

Carter was given the choice of what to do on his birthday. He wanted to go to the driving range and use his new golf club so Matt and Riley took him. I sent the camera along and they took some great pics.




After he got home from golfing he wanted to swim in his new pool in the backyard but we knew it would take all afternoon to warm up. So we blew it up, and yes Matt blew it up himself without a compressor, and filled it. We told him we had to run to the mall and then we would go swim at Grandma's while we waited for his pool to warm up. However, we surprised him and took him to Chuck E Cheese's for lunch and to play. He was really not expecting it and it was fun surprising him. He just kept saying thank you. :) Then we went swimming at the big pool. He had a brownie and wanted to put a candle in it. Well, Grandma didn't have any birthday candles so as you can see in the pictures, she improvised with four random candles she had in the house. Carter thought it was great.


When we got home his pool was a little warmer so they tried it out. They had a great time before they were shivering.




We ended his day by camping out in the camper in the driveway. It was fun and I know he had a great time.
