This one was the best.

Nobody said it was ever easy to get a good photo of two kids...I can't imagine 3 or 4! I guess Christmas cards for the next 10 years will have to be less than perfect!

And what's with the rocks anyway? In most nature hikes, the boys choose from one to three *smaller* items to bring home. The smallest items go in our nature jar inside, the larger ones we use for "decoration" outside in the dirt, etc... somehow, though, these large rocks make it to our clusters of pumpkins on the entry steps. And the pumpkins end up stacked.

It's quite aesthetically pleasing.

Such as the photo.

Cheese!
