Our 1st sleep over

After asking all summer long we finally made it happen! Carter had his first official sleep away and we had our first official sleep over!! It all sounds like fun and games but to be honest I was a bit nervous.  Sounds funny that the mom would be nervous but I wanted to be sure that 1. they had fun
2. that since there were three boys involved that no one felt left out and last but not least 3. I didn't want Carter to feel homesick.  My worries were for nothing at all because they had a blast, all three got along GREAT, and Carter never acted or looked a bit homesick.  It helps that we kept them busy almost the entire time. 

We started off at the beach boogie boarding with Cousin Bryan.  They were all over the waves and having a blast.

Then came home to make s'mores, set the raccoon trap and make a fort to sleep under. 



Believe it or not they were asleep by 10:30! We went up to say it was time to turn the flashlights off and no more talking.  About 5 min later we didn't hear anything from them.  That was the good news...the bad news was we thought a herd of elephants were coming down the stairs at 6:45 AM!!! They were so excited to see that they had caught a RACCOON!!! Out to the trap they went to see the little guy in the cage.
 

Followed by a pancake breakfast.  Then birthday hats were to celebrate Blake's 11 mo birthday :-)
