Just for Fun

Last Tuesday, Calvin met up with some friends at an indoor playground called "Just for Fun". It's a great place with lots of things to do for kids of all ages. 

Calvin thought the outside of the train table was interesting until...
 he saw what was on top of the table!
 Then he had to work on some cars
 and check out what was going on in the house.

 Those are Calvin's friends Benji (above) and Nolan and Chip (below) looking in the window.

 You can see some of the other great stuff this place has in the background of this picture (not referring to Chip, but he is pretty great, too).

 This play equipment is made from a material that is much softer than it looks.
 Calvin is learning to climb and pull up on things.


 Don't rock the boat, Calvin!
 You either, Chip.
 I would say this picture is blurry but really does anything stay in focus with this many babies?
 In honor of his cousin Orson, Calvin had to check out the tunnel.


 Calvin was a pretty big fan.
 It was pretty exciting!
 Calvin ended the day with some dress-up. Who doesn't want to be a fireman?
We had a great time!

Winter Fun

Last Sunday we went to a winter festival at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center. We got to see some wildlife and participate in some winter activities. 
Calvin saw turtles,
 a wolf,

 a bear,

 and what used to be  fox.
Later he headed outdoors for sledding.
First he had to check out the scene.

 He and Daddy got ready to go.

 Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
 Try again!
 WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
 First sledding adventure! (It was raining slightly so Calvin kept opening his mouth to catch the rain.)
Calvin's mommy and daddy went snowshoeing while at the nature center. Thank you to Christine and Bjorn for watching Calvin! They introduced him to their friend Anika(we leave for a half hour and he is meeting older women!).


While we were out, a lady asked to take our picture. A few days later I get an email that shows this picture in the newsletter for the nature center. Too funny!
