A whole lotta Caligator

 

Summer vacation is screeching to a halt and we've been enjoying some sun, but also.....you might wanna brace yourself for this one.....over 15" of rain!!!  For years, Kansas has been aching for a break in the drought and aside for extreme western KS, we are seeing it!  However, there can be too much of a good thing and some parts are bracing for extreme flooding.

We've been spending a good portion of our days indoors or on play dates with some new friends.  Cal LOVES making friends and really enjoys playing with all of their toys.  :)  Here's a video that Katie sent me from when she watched him the other day.  He didn't want to leave their house, by the way. 

 

Cal likes to help me cook lately.  We've made muffins, fruit salad, quesadillas, etc.  However, his flour/dry pasta concoction was perhaps his favorite dish.

 

 

He's starting taking midday bubble baths.....

....with Mitch.....

 

.....and the dogs.

 

Don't get grossed out.  We rewashed Cal after he bathed the dogs.  :)

 

We've also been invertebrate activists and saved worms from drowning in the swollen streets and flooded gutters.  Being an avid hat wearer, Cal selected this gem to go worm hunting.

 

After worm hunting, Cal and Mitch practiced fishing in the garage.  I think they'll venture out to the nearby pond soon!

 

Cal is such a jabberbox.  He's started saying, "Hey....how you doin'?" to all things and people.  Here he is asking his ouchie how things are going.
