Summer Fun







We went to Cedar Point in Ohio yesterday. We had a blast! Ben took a friend and was gone most of the day but we did meet up so I could ride the Mantis with them. I have always wanted to ride it. It is a huge roller coaster that you stand up on the whole time and it goes upside down. It has to be the best roller coaster I have ever ridden! Caleb was heartbroken that he couldn't ride any of the water rides. He was too small. But I did let him stand on the bridge so he could get splashed when the boat came down the big hill. He loved it! Then he threw his sandal in the lake. Gross! I put my arm through the fence up to my shoulder and luckily grabbed it out of the water.:) He rode everything else that he could. He was just tall enough to ride the "BIG" kids rides without an adult. It was funny because whenever they would hold up their striped stick next to him to measure him, he would grab it and shake it. He also stole a few hugs while we were waiting in line. One woman asked him if he was trying to butter her up to get ahead of her in line.:) The weather was great but HOT! We bought a lot of drinks and the kids ate ice cream. Jimmy usually shys away from the big rides but he did ride the Corkscrew (another rollercoaster that goes upside down). We had a lot of fun!

Watch Out!

Caleb's weapon of choice this summer has been this water bottle. No one is safe when he has it in his possession.


Here he is sneaking up on the enemy.......


Aha!!! Gotcha!!!!

Making progress


Segment 1 of the dossier is complete! Once it is apostilled, it will be sent to Europe and then we wait for a referral. One more step closer to Caleb becoming a BIG brother!

Go Paint!

This is the neatest thing. It's called Go Paint! and it's made by Elmer's. It is paint that comes out of these special brushes BUT the paint only appears on the Go Paint! paper. Your child can smell it, try and taste it and attempt to paint on the table, walls, and even himself without it leaving a mark. Caleb was a little disappointed with this feature, but I wasn't! Caleb likes to trace his hand and it was cool because he was able to outline his hand on paper without getting paint all over his hands. This would be a great activity to take on those long car rides and flights with little ones.:)
