Penelope and Her Hunt Boys

When I told Penelope that she was going to hang out with her cousins, the first thing she said was, "I gonna see my prince, Mom? My prince needs me? Does he, Mom?"

Nathan is her prince. Maybe she's right. Just look at him helping her ride the bike.


Then it was time for a picnic. Penelope's favorite thing. We went to Lake Harriet and goofed off and kicked the ball around.

I had to post this picture. This is a classic "Penelope expression." When she gets excited her whole being expresses it. Look at her hands and foot. She was elated with the thought that perhaps some squirrels lived in the hollow of the tree. She and Natie put a Cheeto in the hollow for the thought-of residents.

Many other moments, Penelope simply enjoyed observing her fun cousins.

OK, so could there be any cuter Hunt boys around? I don't think so. They are delightful.

Nathan, perfectly lovable. I can't even stand it.

Never will you find more affectionate brothers. Did I mention how I totally can't even stand it?

A fun day indeed.

(Sad to report that after this sweet moment on the bike Penelope aquired her biggest boo boo to date. There was much sorrow, but nothing that her doting Prince couldn't handle. He brought her a toy for comfort, almost in tears himself, and even sang softly to her.)
