Carter also met his Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Wallo for the first time. He had a blast playing with them and they were nice enough to have us over for dinner one night.We spent Thanksgiving with Tyler's family, then went over to visit his Grandma and Grandpa Andrus and Uncle Danny and family, and then I finally got to go see New Moon! I thought I'd hate it, but like the rest of America's teenie-boppers, I loved it.
We spent a lot of time around the house spending time with everyone. Here's some of Carter's fun with his Grandpa:
On Saturday we brought Carter to the beach for the first time! It was a little cold and windy, but a lot of fun. Carter enjoyed playing in the sand and looking at the water. Really, he had no idea what was going on but we enjoyed the moment!

On Monday we went to spend a little more time with Carter's Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Andrus,
then drove out to Morro Bay.
On Tuesday we drove out to Reno to visit my parents. Unfortunately I didn't get out my camera, as Carter's Grandma Cyndi always takes an ample amount of pictures. I will get them from her one of these days. We had a great time visiting with them, and went bowling and miniature golfing, as well as visiting the world's largest sporting goods store. My grandparents also came out on Thursday and Carter had a great time getting to know them better.Overall, Carter drove in the car for 38 hours (what a trooper!), saw 2 sets of grandparents, 3 sets of great-grandparents, 1 new cousin, 3 aunts and uncles, and a whole bunch more extended family! By the end of the trip Carter was so ready to be out of his car seat and all 3 of us had bad colds, but it was well worth it.
Those are adorable shots you guys got! Much better than what I was able to get. I'll get the CD to you in the mail as soon as I can. We should have just burned you one while you were here, but didn't think of it. The video is cute. He's not sure what to do with the sand! There's a couple with him on the beach and looking up that are absolutely precious! Thanks for sharing!
