Fearrin Fest 2008

Every 2 years the Fearrin siblings and parents come together for a family reunion (better known as Fearrin Fest). Fearrin Fest 2008 was a 4 day Carnival Cruise. Unfortunately we couldn't go because Carter was too young to take on the ship. However, we still made the trip to Florida to meet up with most everyone after the cruise. We spent 4 days in Treasure Island (Clearwater/St. Pete area). It was great to relax and spend time with family.

This trip was Carter's first time on a plane. He did pretty well. He only cried during the landing on the way to Florida. Coming home he ate, slept and cooed the entire time. Traveling with a baby was actually easier then we thought it would be.

Carter went swimming for the first time in Florida. He swam in the ocean and the pool. He liked the ocean because it was really warm - like bath water, but he didn't like the waves very much. The pool was a little cold for him but he seem to enjoy floating around for short periods of time. Carter didn't instantly love swimming, but we imagine by the end of summer he will be swimming like a little fish.
