Once they reach the park, Caillou and his family find the perfect spot to set up their picnic blanket.

Caillou and his dad team up against Caillou's mom and baby sister Rosie. They have great fun throwing the frisbee and running around.

Next, Caillou's mom and dad show him how to fly a kite. Caillou is very excited to try it out, but it takes him a little while to get the hang of it. He keeps trying and eventually gets the kite to soar high in the sky. Caillou feels proud of himself for achieving this feat.

Later in the day, Caillou and his family decide to take a walk around the park. Caillou's dad carries Rosie in a baby carrier, and Caillou rides on his mom's shoulders. As they walk, they see a group of people playing a game of soccer. Caillou stops to watch the game and tells his parents that he wants to play soccer too.
