We had my little brother, Danny, come stay the weekend with us over UEA break. It was a lot of fun! We went up to Payson Lakes and took him fishing for the very first time, we made applesauce, went to a park, watched lots of movies, and just hung out for 4 days (Quinn and I were kinda sick, so there wasn't a whole lot we could do). Here's what I documented over those days:
Up at the lake (I love this picture!)
Daddy and Quinn exploring along the shore
Pooch had a blast running through the water
Danny was stoked to try fishing. However, when the hook caught his hand while he was trying to pull off moss, he freaked out and swore at the top of his lungs that he hated fishing and would never go fishing again! It was really hard not to laugh at him too much. I eventually coaxed him into trying again.

Mommy and Quinners
Such a beautiful day!
Pooch loved rolling in the dirt after wading in the lake. He made me laugh.
Quinn watching Uncle Danny cast
Josh and his faithful dog
Daddy and son fishing together
We got some live bait, since Josh had never used real worms before. It was grossly fun to stick the live worms with the hook. Quinn didn't know what to think.
Pooch checking up on Danny to make sure he was okay. Danny like watching a bubble with the worm on it over using spinners (as long as I would put the worm on for him lol).
I sure know how to put two boys to work. Danny would help me cut up the apples, and then Quinn would put them in the pot to boil.
They had so much fun :)
After the apples were softened, we'd put them in the bowl so make the applesauce. Danny would poke the apples down, while Quinn would help me turn the handle.
At the park, Danny helped Quinn figure out how to get to the wee (slide)
Josh loved being able to play with his son at the park.
I love my two boys!
Quinn swinging on a big boy swing for the first time (the little kid seats were taken up). He managed to actually stay on!
Wee!
Okay, time for the other wee again.
I tried to get a nice shot of my hubby. When editing the photos, I realized Quinn was climbing up to the slide again in the background, and thought it was pretty cute.
Danny workin' on the digger!
This shot was just too perfect
I think this is the first real Danny-smile ever caught on camera. I was trying to teach him how to not smile fake and cheesy for pictures, and it worked out pretty well!
We had a blast with him over the weekend, even though we were sick. And I think he had a pretty fun time, too.
