Autumn Weekend with my nephews

A couple of weekends ago, I went out to my brother Tag's house in the mountains near Lake Tahoe. It's such a retreat out there as they live literally in the mountains surrounded by trees, they don't have the internet or cell phone reception, and he has all the fun toys. He has 2 little boys, Carson (3) and Griffin (6 mo.), who I love dearly. Here are some pictures of the fun weekend with the family!

Me holding little Griffin at Apple Hill. He's so happy! Then, I took Carson on a wagon ride with pumpkins!



At one of the apple farms on Apple Hill, they have animals that you can feed. We picked up apples off the ground and fed them straight to the pig, donkey, and goat! Then, here's Carson helping us load our shopping cart with pumpkins. Both boys are adorable!



So Tag and his wife, Kat, have lots of fun things at their house, including chickens! Carson named all of them, but my favorite name is "Big Mama Dumptruck". Here's Carson next to the chicken coop!

How cute! They're like little tiny mountain men (minus the beards).
