We went to friends Eric and Christine's house for the annual Memorial Day party. We spent a good portion of the day/night there. We let Caleb stay up and play until about 11:30pm. I was a bad Mom and did not get a lot of :pictures. They had a bouncy thing and Caleb loved it. He loved their toy room too and found a helmet (did I ever tell you he is obsessed with helmets?) I found out that this helmet is from Speed Racer, which made me laugh even more. I remember that when I was a kid (even though I know they redid a movie in the last years). He would not take it off. If I made him take it off I had to hold it while he went off and did something else. Then he came right back to put it on. This was the first time he was around a lot of kids he did not know and he made me proud. He loved every minute of it and was very respectful.
So that was Saturday... Then we got up on Sunday late because of the late night and got prepared to go up toward Hinckley, to my sisters cabin. We got there and Caleb was all excited to see his cousins and have fun. We weren't sure what we were going to do, but we sure filled up the day. Tyler took his test to drive the golf cart and passed that day so he got to drive us all around. We went on the paddleboats, went swimming, grilled and had a good day! This was the first time that Caleb went swimming "on his own". Tim was there, but he wanted to do everything himself. It was a 2 foot pool that he got to show off his skills--his daredevil skills.

Then we got to spend Monday with Chad, Steph, Weston and Levi. We grilled, talked and Weston and Caleb ran through the sprinkler. That was fun to watch. I got a chance to hold Levi for awhile and be outside for Weston too.
It was a great long, exhausting weekend. Caleb is still recovering as I have to wake him up each morning and he falls back asleep. This weekend we do not have anything planned and he wants to go swimming and jump!
