Let's be dangerous D

It snowed only once this winter early in December while Nanny & Gramps were away in New Zealand, and little C took advantage of the fresh snow in their backyard to build his own Stormy. Weeks later at Christmas, when they weren’t chasing butterflies and guiding sailboats at the Durham life and science museum, Carson and his cousin Lilia were singing the lyrics and dancing to ‘Zero’ by Imagine Dragons. Little West was taking laps around the staircase and taking turns on the keyboard piano. Carson and Lil got to see the Canes/Whalers play, and she watched Carsy win a hockey championship, in his first game back since surgery! Carsy also fit in a fun ski trip near Blowing Rock with n+g, and Great Wolf Lodge with dad, where he cheered on a Patriots superbowl! Other visitors at the hotel would call him ‘the goat’. Recently, Carson played in his first ever Raleigh Speed travel roller hockey 10U tournament in McDonough, Georgia! After the 7 hour drive listening to tunes like the Spiderman song ‘Elevate’ and ‘Shank Hill’ by Shovels & Rope, he managed 6 goals in 4 games including a breakaway goal in the semifinal game off a ‘bomber’ play, helping his team win 3rd place out of 8. His goals were top shelf snipes, and he looked really dangerous all tournament. That reminds me, he teases me when I tell him to buckle his seatbelt in the car, saying ‘no, let’s be dangerous D’. It was a great trip that gave him time to hangout and bond with his teammate buddies and play in the pool at the hotel. We also took advantage of the trip to visit Atlanta, saw the dolphin show at the aquarium and designed his own dough at Blue Moon Pizza. Back home in NC, Carson took part in a First in Fitness county-wide competition, and finished 4th in pull-ups (16) for his grade level! So proud to watch you compete buddy!
