Fireman Rain Coat, Carousel, and Puddle Jumping...

We bought this rain coat and boots before Carter was born and they finally fit him. He looked adorable and he also loved wearing them. He was so proud of himself. We decided to take him down to River Front Park to look at the Willamette River and all the flooding and then ride the carousel. I enjoyed playing with my camera and trying different settings. Carter was a great model until his complete meltdown at the park...

He loved showing off his new rain coat for the camera. He was so happy wearing this!

I LOVE his eyes!!!!

So we had a really bad day with nap time. In my last post I was bragging about how well he was doing...

He decided to revert back to testing us again. So I tried to get him to nap for almost two hours ending in total failure. We gave up, got him dressed, and hopped in the car. Within two minutes he was asleep. Of course.

Walking to the carousel. He was so excited when he saw the horses. This is his favorite thing to do in the whole world.

Watching the horses while daddy bought our tokens.

And now he is in his happy place...

Jay was reaching for the rings on the fish to win a free ride and every time he grabbed a ring, Carter broke out in hysterical laughter. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I have never seen him laugh so much and so hard!

Laughing at daddy again and again...

And we did a little puddle jumping which was a highlight for Carter.

When it was time to leave Carter threw the biggest temper tantrum of his life so far. In fact, it was his very first public tantrum. Jay and I were basically dragging him across the park to the car kicking and screaming. It was crazy. It honestly looked like we didn't have any control of our child, which is typically not the case one bit. That is what happens when he doesn't take a nap. Lesson learned. Don't go out and do something in public if he doesn't take his nap. We really did have some nice family time at the park though and had beautiful weather! It was also crazy seeing how high the river was and that it was completely flooded on the West Salem side. I have pictures coming soon!
