Petting and Swinging

It was a weekend of a few firsts for Cameron. It was his first time to a cross country meet for his Uncle PJ, outside of the belly that is. We woke up early on Saturday morning to pack up the car and drive to UMASS Dartmouth to watch PJ run. He runs for the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and apparently this was a pretty big meet. Aside from getting the times wrong (we thought he was running at 10; more like noon!), we had a really good time hanging out with my dad and cheering PJ on. He ran a great race and came in second for his school!

Saturday we decided to take Cameron to World War One park for the first time, which is about 10 minutes from our house. Its a really cute park with a petting zoo area, with some farm animals and a small section of caged off animals, such as llamas and deers. It was the first time Cameron had the opportunity to touch animals other then our dog Riley! He wasn't really into the touching part, but he had a blast watching them. We will see has he gets older whether he's a true animal person or not. His parents: not so much!


The park also has a pretty little garden with this funky little water fountain. It is a butterfly with various little holes that shoot out water at random times. Cam LOVED this fountain! He shook with excitement while he watched it. I think he could have sat for hours watching this thing! Here is a picture of us at the garden. He looks mad because we made him look away for just one second to take a picture.

After seeing the garden, we made our final stop at the playground. We had never really been to a playground with him before. He was psyched to watch the "big" kids play on the structure and slide down the slide. He was able to go on the swing set for the first time!! This he loved! He laughed while he swung and cried when we took him out! I think he had a fun time at the park and it is definitely on our list of places to bring Cameron as he gets older!!
