**Eau Claire**

Last weekend Brandon and i drove over to Eau Claire to visit his brothers and their families. We had a great weekend...hopefully these pictures will show it! Saturday, Brandon and i met in the Cities at his Great Aunt's house (aunt Mona...such a sweet lady!) and had a brunch with her...and then headed out to Eau Claire. The drive was not too long...just under 2 hours... i was starting to become rather bored in the car so i started taking pictures of Brandon!

Brandon absolutely loves his little niece, Samantha! They spent many hours playing on the floor with blocks, magna doodles, and colouring on the white board!


To the pumpkin patch! On Saturday afternoon, after Samantha awoke from her nap, we decided to go to a local pumpkin patch. Samantha had fun walking around trying to choose a pumpkin...here is a picture of Tiffany and i "suggesting" good pumpkins to Sammy! She seemed to like the ones that had soft spots in them...but we found a couple good ones!


Bryan and Tiffany are walking with Samantha after we chose our prized pumpkins to go pay for them.
i love this picture of Samantha...we were in the kitchen carving pumpkins and she must have been in the middle of saying something from the way her lips are pursed...but i love the look of the big eyes!
Brandon carving out a face in the side of the pumpkin he chose...i don't have a picture of all of the completed pumpkins though...only bits and pieces!
i think this was Samantha's pumpkin her dad carved out for her...so cute!
And of course..."the guitars"...off and on throughout the entire weekend Brandon and Bryan would play their guitars! Brandon has been playing for a little over ten years and Bryan has been playing since early spring...both of them have taught themselves how to play! So this weekend was spent sharing what they know with each other! They were fun to listen! Very talented and creative in making up little songs or picking up songs from other artists and singing along with their playing!
