Scenes of Summer

It's FINALLY starting to feel like summer. love love loving the nice weather. A couple of weeks ago, we decided to start our summer fun (even though technically it was still cold). We headed out to Brentwood aka the country for some cherry picking.

Cherry picking was the perfect activity for Nate. He could run around, grab whatever he wanted (without hearing the word "no" for once) and throw things in his bucket. He was one happy little guy. Here he is sporting sunglasses only a mother could love (sorry baby, it's true).


The haul. The cherries weren't actually that good (maybe because Nate picked whatever he could find/reach), but it sure was fun.



Nate was just over the moon when he found this ladder to climb. We did end up having to say no...




We also made a trip to the Oakland Zoo. Nate and his buddy Ben were surprisingly still watching the Giraffe's eat lunch.



Nate hanging with his "crew." Best buddy Ben and his new little brother Brady, and Meg and Mike's darling girls, Grace and Claire. Meg came up to visit from LA for the weekend. We are hoping that very soon they come up for good!


We also did some indoor camping at Cousin Josh and Leslie's house with hubs relatives. Our outdoor camping trip got rained out (in June!). So..we improvised. Nate especially enjoyed rolling around on the half empty air mattress. He had lots of fun with his cousins, especially his new babysitters, Megan and Avery. While the ladies took a trip to the movies, the dudes played poker. Megan and Avery helped out and babysat Nate...it sounds like he had a lot of fun and only fell down one or two stairs.
