Adventure at Lake Benson Park

Wow! What a day today was. The weather couldn't not have been more perfect. So perfect, in fact, that I was willing to record the UNC basketball game and head to the park with the family and watch it later. If you know me, then you know that is a big deal.

Anyway, Julie and I took Liam to a park in Clayton and walked him for just over a mile around some ball fields and small pond. We decided to go to another park from there and headed to Lake Benson.

When we arrived we decided to go ahead and change his diaper and let Julie feed him before we went for our walk. When we opened the changing pad we found a newborn sized diaper and decided to go ahead and use that. Soon after, Liam started eating. While Julie was feeding him he let out some rather large rumbles from down under. And then there was more rumbles. And then a little more. And even more. You get the point. Here is the gross part. When she lifted him up, he had...ugh...rumbled through his diaper and all over Julie's pants! Hahahahaha! She found it to be quite amusing when he peed all over me at his photoshoot. You know what they say about payback? Not only that, but he had pooped so much that it shot out the top of his diaper and got on the upper part of his back and all over his shirt (we took his pants off before feeding him). We have decided that we are DONE with newborn sized diapers from this point forward.

Needless to say, he made quite the mess. It took numerous wipes and an extra diaper to clean it all up (please see exhibit A below). And lets just say, thank God that daddy has leather seats in his car.

Exhibit A

Yup. That is a big bag of you know what.

We had no extra clothes for Liam with us, so we almost headed back home. But instead, we decided to go all redneck and take our little man around the park with shoes, socks and pants, but no shirt. I carried him around like this for a while in one of those front carrier things while we walked the unpaved trails. We then moved him over to the stroller and walked to a shaded area and hung out with him in the grass for a while.

So that is our big story of the day. Liam blew Julie up!

Here are a few pictures from the park.
