The Sheltons:: Field Trip and Fire Fest with Friends

Today's post is brought to you by the letter F. For those of you that know Sesame Street, you catch my drift. Anyway - this past week has been Full of Fun! Friday Carter took his First Field trip to the animal clinic. Mom watched Cole so I could volunteer as a chaperone. It was selfish of course, I just wanted to take pictures of Carter :)

He is really coming out of his shell lately. At the vet he was the first to ask or answer a question, or to volunteer to do something. He's come quite a way from a year ago when his teacher asked me if he could talk :)

Here are some friends from his class last year. All the 3 year old classes went to the vet today so he got to see some "old" friends.

Looking in the microscope - he was the first to ask to do so.

And a few of his classmates in a large breed dog kennel. I'll leave out the obvious jokes.

Carter listening to the dog's heartbeat with the vet's stethoscope.

And when we go to the surgery suite, they asked for a volunteer to help dress the tech. Turns out they dressed the volunteer! And as I said earlier, he was the first to raise his hand to help out. It's so much fun to watch him grow up.

We're missing 3 kids, but here is his class.

More "F" fun was at the Cy-Fair Fire Fest. We've gone the last few years and didn't want to miss it even though Carter had a soccer game that morning. The kids were hot, tired and sweaty before we even arrived but they had a great time. We met up with some friends there as well.

Cole on the helicopter. He had a great time while we were there. Whatever exhibit we were on, was his favorite and he wouldn't leave with out serious disapproval.

Caroline, Luke, Carter, Awbrey, Claire and Cole on the Fire Engine. They are all smiling, just in different directions. I'll take all smiles any day since posing any number more than 1 is difficult, much less posing 6!
