Caleb's 8th Birthday!

Caleb started his day with his "8" shaped pancake and a smile!

I came to his school and brought cookies to celebrate

His classmates sang Happy Birthday to him while he wore the birthday hat
(it was pink, so he only held it above his head because he wouldn't wear pink!)

They played "heads up seven up"
And Caleb passed out cookies to everyone

His birthday party was a big hit.
He wanted a "Pirate" birthday party
We did a Treasure Hunt for the kids.

They found the buried treasure, hidden in the garage

Everyone wants some of the Loot!

Then they "Walked the Plank" to win more prizes

At last the pizza came and we had cake and ice cream too.

Happy birthday, Caleb!!

Vacation....continued: Zion's National Park

Hiking at Zion's National Park

Lots and Lots of Swimming!

The best part of our vacation to St. George was not having over-scheduled days. We could do whatever we wanted. It was very relaxing. The thing the kids wanted to do the very most was SWIM! There was an indoor and outdoor pool at the place we were staying. By the end of the week I was totally water-logged! Here are a ton of swimming pictures we took:
