Keeping up with the Yates Family: July 2008

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

On Sunday morning, Nana and I decided to take Merrick to pick strawberries. We made our way out into the field and Merrick was in the row with Nana. He wasn't sure what was going on until he saw what Nana was putting in her bucket. He then exclaimed "MMM Strawberries!" and as quickly as Nana could pick them, he shoved them in his mouth. We cut him off after just a little while because I was afraid he would get a tummy ache.

Mmm Strawberries!

Nana... I promise I won't eat all of them!

Maybe I'll pick some leaves...

Are we done yet???

Keeping Cool

We decided to head over to Nana and Papa T's house to play in the pool and cool off on Saturday afternoon. Merrick took to the pool like a champ and ended up staying in the longest out of everyone. He also did his first under water dunk and didn't get too upset by it. It was nice to be able to cool off and spend some time with Nana & Papa T.

A trip to the zoo

We had a fun Friday with a visit from Poppa, Grammy, Auntie Kira and cousins Micah and Quin. We all met at the zoo and enjoyed seeing all of the animals. Micah really wanted to see the elephants and Quin was excited about seeing the dinosaurs. Merrick was more interested in running around and dancing to the music. We saw lots of animals and then had a picnic. The boys quickly became uninterested in eating and more interested in dancing and running around. I think all of them had a good nap that day.
