Monkey Arms

Today Brayden was playing in a fort we made from sofa cushions and blankets. He had a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal in the fort. When I asked him to grab Mickey he said he couldn't reach (which, of course, he could) and said to me "you have long monkey arms, you can reach".

The campground mascot made a stop at our site. Brayden just woke up in the morning and wasn't in the mood to deal with a giant furry racoon wearing a vest.

Brayden sitting on top of the camper on our drive home after camping in Central Oregon. We were re-routed due to a serious accident and had to make a stop at a fruit stand to feed Noah. Rob took a few photos of Brayden while they waited.

uhhh....you're not old enough to drive yet, buddy.

This is what I like to see when we're on a road trip....and yes, he is holding a fruit snack box (aka 'treasure box') When I need to occupy him for a few minutes I'll give him a box, call it a 'treasure box' and tell him to find some treasures to put in it.
