Berries, Copters, And Peacocks

We headed down to Whiting Tuesday night to drop off Judee before our roadtrip, and maybe to have a nice dinner and a little rest. instead we did as many things as we could fit into an 8 hour window. First was a much belated Easter at Grandma & Grandpa's. Yuula doesn't own a calendar yet, so she didn't know any better. That would make a good Easter gift; a calendar.


Then we headed over to Hallock's for some peak season strawberry picking. Yuula took right to it, like she'd been there before, yanking berries and popping them down her gullet. We had to tell the girl at the checkout to charge for an extra pound or two that never made it into the basket. Maybe next time we just weight Yuula before and after to know how much we owe.


Then we headed out to Point Pleasant to see what we could see about trying out the boardwalk. The beach was a little crowded and we weren't all that interested in paying for a quick stroll out to the ocean so we hit the rides instead. Compared to last year, where we practically had to drag her onto even the merry-go-round, this time was a raving success. She wanted to ride everything! And she even smiled a couple of times. Plus she had a partner in crime this time around, namely her cousin Dylan, who up until the boats, seemed to be a perfect buddy.


Do I even need to mention we had ice cream at Sundae's?


Then to cap off an already jam-packed day, we visited the Popcorn Zoo, where Yuula saw horses, fed bears, hid from a tiger, and pet a sheep. We also saw the most enormous cow and Laura molested a peacock.


Do we think she had a good day?


This is the sign of a good day.

Walnuts On The Wall Is Nuts

At Mom & Dad's tonight, AKA Grandma & Grandpa Estler's, in prep for Dylan's big day tomorrow. The cousins got together and swapped toys and pawed at each others faces. So far they get along swimmingly. And that's without a pool.

Had some cookout burgers indoors due to inclement weather, and after a long stressful day on our side of the world, a couple beers sprinkled the evening, followed by Mom & Dad's traditional magaritas.

The girls cut up some melons for the coming festivities and Yuula gave a reenactment of herself watching So You Think You Can Dance this past week. The video will be up in the next few days. Keep an eye out.

Whiting Playground

Yuula had a good time at Grandma & Grandpa's. She's a good time girl.

We bought her a visor on the boardwalk. Perfect fit!
