Playing with Mary Grace

Sarah and I walked this morning and then went back to her house to have lunch and let the kids play outside. It was another warm day today so Sarah got out their inflatable pool. Mary Grace has a really cool slide and the kids really liked sliding into the pool. After a little help, Carter figured out how to climb up the rock wall and then sit down and slide on his own.


Here's a series of photos of Carter going down the slide ...






Carter had lots of fun. We had one mishap though. Carter decided to climb up the slide (I was sort of impressed he could do that) and Mary Grace went up the rock wall. Two kids don't fit too well at the top of the slide. Carter slipped off and fell. We think he hit his face on the way down and busted his lip before landing on his back. Actually, it's the area between his inner upper lip and gum line. It seems a little swollen right now but it almost looks like the inside of his lip is stuck between his front teeth. It's not bothering him at all so we'll see how it looks in the morning. Carter cried for a few minutes when it happened but then he heard an airplane and was over it. He's so tough!

Carter went back to playing on the slide after about 15 minutes.


Carter's favorite toy at Mary Grace's house is this little car. He played on it as much as he played in the pool or on the slide.


I'm so glad that Carter is finally getting old enough to actually play with Mary Grace. It made our afternoon so much easier. Sarah and I got to sit down and relax a bit and watch them play instead of having to keep them entertained ourselves.
