Camping!

We went camping last weekend with some family and had a great time. Brandt is at a great age for this! He loved being outside, playing with his cousins, and was a very happy camper.


We went camping at a place we hadn't been before, but will definitely be going back. We had some great camping weather too!


Andrew is the master chef while camping! He made us pizza in the dutch oven for dinner and french toast, bacon, eggs, and sausage for breakfast. It was all so tasty!


We all enjoyed a yummy breakfast.


We roasted marshmallows and stayed warm by the fire in the evening.


Hanging out around camp.


It was a beautiful place and we had fun on our nature walks around camp.


Mommy was teaching Brandt the fine art of deflating an air mattress. He loved it!

Pumpkin Patch!

Going to the pumpkin patch is one of our favorite family traditions. We all go on a hay ride, pick a pumpkin, and play in a hay maze. Brandt even got to ride on a pony. It was much more eventful this year chasing after Brandt, he loves to run, and there was a huge field awaiting his adventures. We love taking pictures, and tried to snag him for a few family shots, but this is as close as we could get with the busy boy! Many of our pictures were of Brandt running by or of his back, just a few seconds too late. But we did catch some great moments too.






While riding the pony Brandt said over and over, "YEE-HAW, I a cowboy!" It was so funny.

Fire Station

We went to the local fire station this week with our play group. Brandt loves pointing out Fire Trucks when we are around town, and he was very excited to get to play in the truck!







We recently got some fireman rain boots, which he loves, but they are a little too big and kept falling off his feet.
