Since I take Henry out camping by himself, I felt like I had to do the same with Walter.
While I don't think he's quite ready for backpacking yet, a quick rip to Sibbald Lake
was an easy outing for us. Here's Walter playing with some new friends at the playground.

Throwing rocks around Sibbald 'Lake' - it's more of a greasy pond I'd say.
Full size
Walter was much more excited about using his net to try to catch minnows, but
practically, there wasn't much alive in this pond.
Full size
We threw the fish hooks around too, but no luck.

Walter likes to pump water - too bad it's not drinkable here.

Dinner while camping - noodles and sausages.

Walter reading dork magazines to look for robots.

Walter and his new friend Levi. This trip convinced me to put Walter into soccer and he
was immediately in soccer lessons with his friend Grayson later this evening.

So, it was ~4 deg C overnight so this is Walter having hot apple cider to warm up his hands.

Picking bushels of wheat for no particular function.

Bushels of wheat to bring home for Mom. I don't get it, but they were excited.

Since Henry got to go to Calaway the day before, and Walter has massive FOMO, we went to ride
at Calaway the next day. Here's Walter and I on one of the fast spinny rides he loves.
Full size
This was Walter's first time on Ocean Motion (the big boat).
Full size
And this is the big drop ride and again Walter loved it.
Full size
Walter also LOVES BMX riding, so I'm not making him choose between soccer and BMX, he just does both of them.
Full size
I just love watching Walter push his bike up the ramp with his giant helmet. It's the best.
Full size
He doesn't even care if there's other kids around him.
Walter crushing it on the BMX track
Full size
How great is this? He would pony right up to the gate, wait until the big kids went
and then just roll the gate. He now says 'rolling' whenever he hops onto his bike.
It's awesome.
Full size
Most importantly - he knows that if he tries hard, he gets a Freezie!
Full size
I have no idea why Walter wanted purple tape, but he did, and now he and Henry use it for 'crafts'.
