Joshua and Andrew love apples too, especially when they can pick them, but Wyatt has just discoverd his love of apples. Wyatt just picked him up off of the ground and ate them, two at a time. We find him wandering around the house snacking on apples these days, it's really quite cute. Finding half-eaten apples lying around under the couch...not so cute. Not sure what's up with blogger and pictures on this post...
Last weekend we went to T-town.We went on the:train,antique cars,bumper cars,roller coaster, ferriswheel,tilt-a whirl,lady bugs,and military airplanes.We all had lots of fun!
Wyatt's favourite ride was the mini cars.
Wading at the beach the day we arrived. Mom wasn't quite in the mood to attempt a full beach excursion on her own.
Wyatt liked the water. :)
So did Natalee.
Wyatt's hot tub. He hated it by the end of the week...
The mother deer was so tame! We fed her food out of our hands.
Momma deer and her two babies in our front yard.
"The Dock." We spent many minutes throwing stones in the water...
The Cabin. Well, 2 out of 3 "wings".
Wyatt's favourite game to play with his big brothers. Sit and squish. 
Caleb enjoying the water.
Wyatt getting down to work.
More delicious work.
Andrew's wave...love it!
Natalee & Andrew "in charge" of the food. We were getting ready to make s'mores.
Mmmmmm, s'mores!
Mini-golf...9 year old style. Not too bad.
5 year old style...aka hockey-golf.
Game's over (for the boys) and Mom hasn't even golfed 4 holes yet.
Wyatt keeping busy during the 5 minute golf game...
Ummmmm, bad idea.
Good idea!
Oh yeah!
On the dock just before sunset, tummies full of ice cream, almost ready for bed...
Sleep time. Wyatt LOVED sleeping with Natalee. Natalee didn't enjoy it nearly as much.
School park...
You have no idea how many comments I get whenever I take my 5 children out. Some of them are nice, others are just really annoying.
Sleep time. Yes, this is how I found them, fast asleep! :)
Hot dog? Of course, Wyatt needs to taste it...
Wyatt's favourite new toy.
S'mores, made indoors after the kids were all in bed, on a rainy cold night, the night before we left...sniff sniff.
I am no photographer, but who could resist these? We couldn't! :)
Saturday morning, cuddling in bed.
Scavenger hunt results. 1 piece of birch bark, 2 mushrooms, 3 fern leaves, 4 flowers, 5 dandelions, 6 black stones, 7 oak leaves, 8 berries, 9 pinecone, 10 smooth pebbles. 
Joshua, the smart boy that he is, requested chocolate birthday cake with chocolate icing. He also wanted it decorated with Oreo cookies. It was delicious!
Saturday morning and time for presents! Joshua got several books and two packs of new cards.
Blowing out 8 candles didn't seem too hard for him. :)
Joshua having a ride on the horse.
Caleb and M. the dog.
Andrew sitting on the tractor. Natalee and Andrew basically argued the whole time over whose turn it was to sit on the tractor.
Feeding the youngest calf.
Joshua wasn't afraid to get up close and personal with any of the animals.
And a wiener roast! Nothing like eating in the great outdoors. The kids and I had such a great time at Shelley's. Thanks Shelley. Hopefully she'll let us come terrorize her animals again next summer. :) Caleb & Joshua are still so proud that they were allowed to drive the lawnmower tractor all by themselves.
