Climbing the Tree

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

My in-laws have a bunch of trees, and one of the ones in their front yard is just about the right height for mister monkey to climb. Here are a couple of the pictures I took of him in the tree (he was spotted by my in-laws at all times).

Splashing in the Bird Bath

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Desmond loves water. He loves splashing in water, in fact the main reason we still don’t let him in the kitchen most of the time is because he will head right to K-line’s water bowl and splash in it. He’ll also try to eat K-line’s food, but he is more likely to splash in his water. Anyways when we were at my in-laws Desmond played with thier bird bath, and got quite wet, the bird bath got quite a bit emptier as well.

Memorial Day Pictures

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I’ve been meaning to get these pictures up for awhile, but well Desmond likes to turn off my computer where I download and edit my photos for the web, so it has taken a bit to get them ready. Anyways these are pictures from last Sunday, we went over my in-laws and had a nice Barbecue with them, and Noah and Clare. Noah and Clare took some of these pictures I think, since they were enjoying playing with the DSLR. Anyways here are some of the pictures from the day.

Strawberry Farm

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

This morning we took Desmond out to the pick your own farm. It was the opening of their season. They just had strawberries available today, but he was quite happy with that. He loved walking down the aisles with the strawberries and picking them off the bush to eat. He had a lot of fun, and we ended up picking 11 pounds of strawberries. Hopefully that will last us for awhile. Anyways here are a lot of pictures from our adventure. I’ve split the pictures into numerous posts so it isn’t so overwhelming. The first picture here is Dan showing Desmond a strawberry. The rest in this post are Desmond playing and eating the first strawberry he got.
