A quick trip...

This ginormous Merrill family just grew again.

Welcome, welcome little Kolter Wright.

We had to get down to Thatcher to meet this lil' fellow.

I can't believe that my baby is this massive dude. (He looks just like his Daddy when he sleeps).

You may be wondering why everyone is wearing ear pods?  Our sweet little Wyatt is a talker.  He specializes in repetitive talking. As in, "Dad!  Dad!  Dad!  Tountain (mountain)!  Up! Up! Up!  Dad!  Dad!  Dad!  Tountain!  Dad! Tountain!  Up!"  And that went on for 45 minutes.

Forty five minutes, people!

I couldn't get a picture of the other two kiddos from my seat... they were the lucky ones :)

We walked down to the little train car to get ourselves some yummy frozen yogurt.

I tried to get a group shot of these Merrill and MaGill cousins... 

I get an A for effort, I do believe.

Awww- big bro and lil' sis.

I got me some yummy cheesecake fro-yo.  You did notice that I said we walked here, right?  I totally deserved this cup of awesomeness.

Once our bellies were full and we sauntered back home,

we got our snuggle on.

Such a sweet angel boy.

After Kolter decided he wanted to eat, we headed to the pool.  And it was a bit chilly.

And, oh sweet niblets, there was a water slide.

 

 

Porter so wanted to go down one of those slides, but, alas, his scaredy-cat side came out (he gets that from me) and he couldn't quite get himself up there.

 

 Adi tried her hardest to convince him to go down with her...

But Porter was just too afraid that the lifeguard wouldn't catch him and he would suddenly forget how to swim.

Where was Wy-Fi during this swimming adventure?  Checking out the cool tractors at Grandma and Grandpa's farm with his Daddy.

He was in heaven, I tell ya!  This kid loves anything with a motor and wheels.

It was only a day trip, but it's always fun to see our Thatcher family!
