When the grandkids turn 5 years old, Larry's parents take them on a week to ten day trip to either Branson, MO or Hot Springs, AR. Carter turned 5 in December, so this was his first trip and man was he excited!
After the first night, I think Larry's parents realized how much fun it will be for them too, because it has been so long since they have had a grandkid, where everything was brand new. I mean, we have never even taking him to putt-putt before. My philosophy is, I have plenty of time for my kids to know about things, but lets do it in time. Carter still does not know a place like Gattiland exists, but we do know all about Chuck.e.Cheese so I am not that bad.
Carter started his adventure with a few days in Texarkana before heading to Hot Springs, AR for the first time ever. While in Texarkana, he got to hang out with some good friends and spend some time with Larry's aunt, uncle and grandmother. Carter totally bounded with Larry's Uncle Steve, a high school football coach.
Sunday afternoon, they proceed to Hot Springs where the spend 5 days in the miserable heat, but my kid does not know what that means. Larry's parents took Carter to the Alligator Farm, Magic Springs (a cross between a Six Flags and a Wonderland, a scale in between), a waterpark and Carter even road a tube in the lake for the first time. I know, but please remember there is not a lot of water around Amarillo. Carter is unlike any of the grandkids and set a tone above all with his amount of energy!
He had a blast and is already talking about next year! Thanks Gran and Papa, he had more fun with you all
