more triathlon pics

Here are some more pics from the Chicago triathlon trip. It was such a pretty day for a race. Carson did not want to wake up for the race this morning, but once he was awake he had a great time. He wanted to do everything like Daddy... he tried to wear Daddy's shirt from the race...it's just a little too big and he wanted to ride Daddy's bike.

Chicago Triathlon

We went to Chicago this weekend to cheer for Daddy during the triathlon. We had a great time! Good job Daddy! Carson went swimming in the hotel pool with Daddy, played with some big stuffed animals at the store, cheered for Daddy during the race, and tried on some cool sunglasses.

Cookout

Katie, Adam, and Evan came over for a cookout this weekend. We ate lots of great food...ribs, brisket (thanks to Adam!), and some yummy desserts. Carson and Evan stared at each other as Carson rocked him in his carseat. When they are older, they will have lots of fun playing together.

Mr. Helper

Carson is very helpful with the indoor and outdoor chores. He was watching us pick up weeds from the yard and he decided to grab Daddy's extra garden glove and put it on. He then started picking up the weeds and putting them in the bag, just like Mommy and Daddy. He also tried to use the big shovel, but he decided his smaller shovel was much easier to use.

Zootime

Mommy and Carson took a trip to the zoo. Carson likes the zoo more each time we go. He was glued to the elephants and he loved brushing the goats. He also tried to talk to the goats as he would squat down to the ones that were laying on the ground.

Picnic with family

We went to an annual family picnic where Carson got to see his cousins, Wren and Paige. Carson also helped Aunt Beth walk Maddie.

Picnic

Carson came to Mommy's work picnic. He had fun eating jello and running around in the grass.
