amusement park

 For Dan's birthday we took Calvin to an amusement park.  We all had a lot of fun and were all exhausted by the time we got home.  Above is Calvin riding in a race car (not sure why he wanted to sit in the back but he did).  The first time he rode the ride it lasted over 5 minutes. 

 Waiting for the train ride to begin.

Calvin's favorite ride of the day was the roller coaster.  Later he was taking pictures of us and we had to say roller coaster.

Boats and animals

 The Nina (above) and the Pinta (below) came to visit our little town recently.  Both were built in Brazil using 15th century boat building techniques.  Both were much smaller than I thought they would be considering they (well, the originals anyway) were used to cross the ocean. 

 Don't you just love pictures of signs?  Because I'm horrible at remembering key details I thought it would be best to just take a picture of the sign.

 Calvin and I visited the zoo, again. 

 Feeding the giraffes.  He loved, loved, loved, doing this.  Who wouldn't? 

 Calvin was playing with the camera on the drive home.  At first I was told to say "cheese" and then later I was told to say "giraffes" when he took my picture.

Calvin playing with the camera still.  He thought it was so funny that he took a picture of himself upside down.  He also had fun telling his feet to say "giraffes" and then taking pictures of his feet.
