Random thoughts from the waterpark
Aug 13, 2008 A day in our life
School starts a week from today. It blows me away that summer vacation is already over. It seems like it just started. But here we are.
Today we decided to have one last family “vacation” before we all have to put our thinking caps back on and listen to teachers. We piled in to the van and headed to the waterpark.
It was a great day and we had a lot of fun.
After a few hours we took a break to eat. While Caleb began to dig in to his grilled cheese sandwich he told me, “Tomorrow I’m going to get a diet. Do you know what that mean?”
I said, “no” because I wasn’t sure if “get a diet” was the same thing as “go on a diet.”
He said, “It means I’m going to start eating healthy.”
Spencer said, “I’m not getting a diet. I don’t need one.”
Caleb told him, “Um…yes. I think you do.”
Lee decided to butt in and clarify. “There are two different kinds of diets,” he told Spencer. “There is a diet to lose weight and there is a diet to eat healthy. Caleb wants to go on a healthy diet so he can grow an inch and be able to go on all the slides that require you to be 48 inches.”
Caleb is so funny. He’s determined to eat healthy and drink all his milk ever night so he will be tall enough to ride all the rides when we go to Disney this winter and so he can go down the slides next summer. He has less than an inch to go. The poor kid just wants to be able to do everything his brothers and sister do.

Caleb is hilarious! Especially when he is lecturing Spencer on eating healthy!! Being someone who struggles with eating healthy for the “other diet reason”, I commend Caleb on wanting to develop a healthy eating style at 6 – help him keep it up even when he is tall enough for all the rides.
And, boy, do I hope he is tall enough at least for all the rides that Spencer qualifies for or we’ll be getting some tears at Disney. And, I hope both the boys are tall enough to go on everything Skyler can too.

Auh. Stupid 48 inches rule. It’s not fair. I hope he sprouts up before the trip.

Ahh! We love Lost Island!!! We were there a few weeks ago, and had loads of fun. Especially me, because when I was changing into my suit in the parking lot (don’t ask) I inadventently flashed an elderly gentleman and made his day. He told me so.

We love Lost Island too. Believe it or not, Jake and Drew’s favorite slide this year was the red one. You wouldn’t catch me on that thing ….
I’m such a wimp.
