Caillou

Vacations (2x238)

: 20, 2002

Caillou’s first airplane ride brings lots of new experiences: a fun breakfast, an amazing view out the window and a trip to the flight deck with Daddy. Also, Caillou misses his friend Sarah when she goes away on an all-summer trip to China. Teddy is heartbroken when the family goes on a trip and he’s left behind. In the puppet segments, Teddy is sad and has a broken heart because Caillou went on vacation to a warm and sunny beach with his family, but he got left behind. He was all ready to go, but Caillou's Mommy forgot him on the stairs. Rexy sees that Teddy is sad and enlists Gilbert's help to cheer him up. They decide to pretend that they too are on vacation. At first, Teddy won't join in, but when they use the subtle tactic of tossing a beach ball in his direction, he can't help but join in the fun. In the main program, Caillou enjoys some vacationing of his home and also experiences sadness when one of his friends goes away on their own vacation. "Caillou Flies on a Plane" Lifted from the original series. Caillou and his family are on a plane trip. Caillou is curious about everything, even his seatbelt. His Daddy tells him not to mess with it, as they're taking off. As the plane takes off, Caillou happily watches the disappearing ground. Once in the air, Caillou enjoys an airplane breakfast of eggs and juice. His Daddy listens to some music, but Caillou becomes curious about the volume controls and causes the music to blast at full volume. Then, the pilot shows up and invites Caillou and Daddy to the flight deck. Caillou enjoys watching them fly through the clouds and is given a junior pilot pin by the pilot. The plane finally lands and a flight attendant thanks them for flying and says that she hopes to see them on their return flight. "Caillou at the Beach" Repeat of a segment first shown in "Summertime" and lifted from the original series. Caillou's family goes to the beach. It's Caillou and Rosie's first time. Caillou goes into the water with his Daddy. He has a picnic with his family, but a seagull steals his sandwich. He follows a crab to the sea and sees lots of sea creatures. Then, he builds a sand castle with his Mom. Finally, the tide comes in and they have to leave for the time being, but they'll come back the next day (and the next day and the next day...) "Caillou Misses Sarah" Caillou is helping Daddy make a birdhouse. The doorbell rings and Caillou goes to get it, although Mommy answers it first. It's Sarah. She's just come over to drop off a note. She and her family are leaving on vacation and the note is a list of instructions on taking care of things at her house, which Caillou's family has agreed to do. Caillou's upset that Sarah's leaving, but he still wants her to see his birdhouse. They work on it and paint it together, but then Sarah's Mom calls and Sarah has to leave to finish packing. Later, Rosie wants to help with the birdhouse, but Caillou won't allow it. It's his and Sarah's. Caillou finishes his painting and goes to Sarah's house with Mommy. There, they get the mail and also have a run-in with Sarah's cat, Ollie, who scatters the mail. Caillou feeds the cat and tours Sarah's house with Mommy, watering the plants. Caillou thinks Sarah is taking an awful long time to come home, but Sarah sends Caillou a postcard, talking about all the relatives she's visiting in China. One day, Caillou and Mommy are heading out to Sarah's when Rosie notices a bird in the birdhouse. The entire family goes over to Sarah's and find that she and her family are back home. Caillou can't wait to show Sarah his birdhouse, but first he gets a present from Sarah, a Chinese folded-paper fan. "Caillou Goes Camping" Lifted from the original series. Caillou's grandpa is over at Caillou's place. They're playing about when Caillou's grandpa reminices about the time he went camping with Caillou's dad a long time ago. Caillou wants to go camping, too. So they do. They set up a tent and go nature hiking around the garden. At night, they have marshmallows and look at the stars. Then it was time to sleep. But it was too noisy. Grandpa has a solution, though. The next thing we know, we see Caillou's mom calling them up for breakfast. And the tent's in the living room. Turns out that the night noises frightened Caillou. So they moved everything indoors.
