One Happy Boy

Thursday nights equals Happy Hour at the Embassy for the Bakazan family. The kids always have fun, but this week Calvin had a complete blast! He was running around with a few boys about a year or 2 older than him playing soccer and just chasing each other around. When he came back to our table this is what he looked like:

Red in the face and hair soaked with sweat!

You see, when we are at the Embassy it's a very controlled environment and Calvin knows his boundaries so he basically gets the freedom to run around and play without Mom and Dad right there watching his every move. He can go to the kids room and watch the movie that's playing or go run around with his friends and he always knows where we are if he needs us. We bring our maid Lorna with us, and her job is to basically follow Alayna around and make sure she stays out of trouble. The fact that this is the only time all week they are allowed to have popcorn, soda, ice cream and the freedom to run unsupervised makes Happy Hour one of my kids favorite things to do.

And the ice cream is always a highlight.

Apparently it's good to the last drop!

Calvin was just so happy and care free, I can only hope he will remember this.

And if not, at least he can look at the pictures and see the joy in his little face.
