A Little Bit Southern

As soon as school got out, we hit the road to go down south. On our way, we stopped at Calaway Park. We had passes last year for our Tour of Alberta, but then Covid kind of ruined that plan, so we're doing it this year instead.

We discovered Calista is tall enough to do everything - on her own! Craig is tall enough to do the big roller coaster with an adult, 

and Caleb is big enough to do the log ride with us. 

My favorite! 

Everyone got to do a whole bunch of fun things, we ate pizza, 

and we tried to stay cool. 

That struggle would only get worse throughout the next couple of weeks.

Caleb Year Five Retrospective

Caleb is five!  Let's dance!

Favorite color: yellow, and orange, and blue, and green

Best part of being 4: um, me eating goldfish and bananas.

Looking forward to for 5: um, I'm looking forward to getting to my new school, like kindergarten, and Craig helping me find my class, since he knows the way, I think. 

Wisdom you've learned this last year: um, love. 

Those are words to live by: Love. ❤️

Caleb's got a full hand!

Five years old seems so big. It's on the precipice of so many things, like kindergarten. It uses up all the fingers on one hand. 

And it's how old Caleb is now. 

His birthday was a pretty good day. It started with chocolate chex and presents. 

Caleb got a balance bike, 

books, 

a tiger stuffie, and a buildable truck toy. 

He was thrilled. 

Then we had a dance party 

and frosted Caleb's cake. 

Birthday boy gets to lick the beater, obviously.

Since it was a school/work day, most of the day itself was just for Caleb and me. I love spending time with him. We went to the park, 

And discovered the water got turned on at the spray park!

Which meant we had to go home, change, and then come back to play.

Opening presents, frosting a cake, and playing at the park is exhausting.

Good thing Caleb has his new tiger friend to keep him company!

After everyone came home, we had some pizza followed by... 

Cake!

All in all, a very good little birthday!
