Picnics and Pumpkins!

We decided to have a "family day" last week, so one afternoon we took a picnic lunch down to the Snake River and afterwards headed to a pumpkin patch to pick a few pumpkins for the front porch. The weather was perfect (not too hot and not too cold), and PB&J sandwiches never tasted so good!! Hoyt and Ryon entertained themselves by throwing lots of rocks into the river and looking for fish, and I enjoyed sitting and taking pictures!

Hoyt had to carry the picnic basket by "himself"!

The only place we could find to sit was on the little boat dock. Not the most comfortable spot, but it worked!

and with mom, who didn't really want to go out on the rocks!

Hoyt's favorite thing to do these days is to give "baby brudder" kisses and hugs. He will do this at least five to ten times a day - I think he's getting pretty excited for the little guy to make an appearance! Today he asked me if it was Christmas and I explained that we had to have Halloween and Thanksgiving and then it would be Christmas. He then replied, "Baby brudder comes out at Christmas." He's definitely thinking a lot about it!
