Trip to Central Point!!

DeA and the boys are living the high life down in Oregon while I slave away here at the office.  She uploaded some pictures, so I'm going to do my best to describe them.  Here Ryker is busy refilling bottle water for the local bottling company.  Also, he's not wearing a shirt.

Rock found a straw cowboy hat and likes to bow and say "Howdy, partner".

The boys are having a ball playing on all the lumber and equipment.  They love climbing on stuff.

In the past, Rock was afraid of Buddy the Golden Retriever.  This trip he has decided that Buddy is his bestest buddy in the world.

He will just sit out on the back porch with Buddy and hug him, pet him and talk to him.

He even wanted to call Buddy while away from the house to let him know he was coming home soon.  Oh, guess how many times he's called me...zero!

The boys love to play with toy tractors, so it only makes sense that they like the real things, too.

Rock was more than willing to explain to Ryker how to drive the lift.

"...and this knob controls the laser beams."

What a cutie.

Ryker has always loved having his shirt off and feeling his belly.  Even when we lived in Renton and he was a newbie.

They helped Papa Dave prepare the site for the gazebo.

Rock discovered fishing, and he loves just sitting out by the pool and trying to catch fish with the old people's grabber thingy.

Mama Zista likes to plant pumpkins for the kids to enjoy.  Ryker picked out a good one that was just his size.  Also, he still doesn't have a shirt on.  I don't know, maybe DeA just forgot to pack them.

Rock loves getting lost in the garden with his gardener hat.

He likes to literally get lost.

Look at the little trooper go and find the perfect pumpkin deep in the field.

Meanwhile, Ryker was still waiting for someone to help him cook this thing into a delicious pumpkin pie.

The boys made sure to protect their loot.

Still shirtless, and loving it.

Aw, finally the little guy got a shirt.  He definitely looks happy about it.

I'm not sure what Rock is planning, but I'm going to guess that he's sneaking up on Buddy to jump on him like a horse.

Rock may just grow up to be a world class gardener.  Or a regular gardener with super powers.

"Ha, Buddy did a good job on this fertilizer!"

He did a good job watering everything that he could find out on the deck, including Buddy.

Meanwhile, Ryker was busy with the broom.  He sure loves brooms.
