We spent a few days in the Upper Peninsula of Michagin for the annual Thompson family vacation. This was the first time Cale was able to go, so we were all pretty excited to bring him along. He loved finding new discoveries and exploring everything. I just threw this pic of me and Jason in here as well...I think this is the first picture we've actually taken since Cale was born! As always, Cale has found a new passion....wateremelon, watermelon, watermelon! He loves this stuff! He'd eat it all day, everyday if we let him! This white shirt was practically pink by the time Cale was done with his little treat...the bib did nothing!

Cale playing peek-a-boo with Grandma Thompson

Here, Cale is getting a lesson from Great Grandpa Thompson on how the "fish TV" works. Cale was getting too confused when we kept saying "great grandpa"--- he's thinking "How come I have so many grandpas" So we officially decided to call great grandpa "Chief", which has been his nickname in the Thompson family forever ( I believe courtesy of Jason's dad!)


Cale and mommy shooting the breeze. The best I could do for a picture with Cale--he just didn't want to look at the camera.




Grandmp Thompson bought Cale his very own tom-tom on our trip to Eagle River, Wisconsin. It had feathers on when we bought it, and by the time we got back to the cabins (only about a 30 min drive) Cale had ripped off all the pretty feathers. As you can see, he doesn't quite understand the concept of it yet either...he would rather use it as a hammer and smash all the rocks instead of drum it. But hey, whatever works!

One of Cale's new explorations on our vacation was the little minnows in the minnow bucket. I braved the storm and snatched up a minnow so Cale could see and touch it. He really liked them and actually tried petting it a few times...but shortly after this picture was taken, the minnow took a nose dive and we lost him....so we had to move on to the next discovery!
