The sun finally came out

I have been feeling uncharacteristically unchatty recently (blogwise, at least), but I was inspired by the (finally) fantastic weather to take some pictures of my weekend:

Friday I took Ada and Monkey Boy berry picking with Debbie and her son.

Notice that with a tub of strawberries behind her,
my child chooses to snack on dried cranberries.

Answering that long standing question,
the chicken crossed the road to get to the berry-filled wagon

I think I love pigs because they appear to smile

On Saturday Chris, Ada and I went for a walk at Smith and Bybee Lakes, which has paths that are about the perfect distance for toddler attention spans.

Can you believe a week ago people were referring to this as Junuary?

Later we ate hamburgers on the back patio, after Chris and Ada read a few books on her porch.

On Sunday we celebrated Father's Day with Ellen and Jiro. Two of my favorite dads, grilled food and rum drinks - who could ask for more?
