Weston the thrill seeker: Part 2

We got a new camera for "Christmas". The new camera takes great video. I love this feature especially now so I can share some of our fun times with everyone- and everyone that doesn't live close (aka- family) can watch Weston grow.

Mommy can't keep a secret:

The NC State Fair

We took our first trip to the NC State fair yesterday. Weston had a blast. If you ask him what he did he will tell you: Animals. Pony. TRAIN! He loved the choo choo train. He rode two different trains.
When it was time to ride the merry-go-round he refused to get on the horse. Crazy. So we sat on the bench- which he loved just as much.

Weston the thrill seeker

Can you think of a better activity for a Friday night? We strapped Weston into his car seat and Mike flew him around like a roller coaster. Weston was having a blast, shreeking and giggling the whole time. He cried when it was time to put the car seat back in the the car.

Weston saying "whoa".

This is Weston crying when daddy said we were all done with the car seat roller coaster ride. I'm pretty sure that if we get into a car accident now Weston will think it is a fun game.
