Pumpkin Patch

 Look, Abby can not only stand, but she can WALK! She's definitely a toddler, and not too steady on her feet yet. But it's definitely walking. 

 She's 11 months old. (Now she's going on a year! Time flies.)

Here's Abby swinging her legs, waiting to be freed from the stroller at the pumpkin patch.

 We were at the patch last Saturday morning before I had to go in to work.

 Sampling the hay. No worries, it never actually got to her mouth.

 Whee!!!

 Chelsea was the only one of our kids able to scale the hay mountain to its peak unaided. The bales were taller than Brie! 

 A view of the pedal car course. These were so fun. I was wiped out, but it was worth it!

 Train rides were available. The big girls got to go on, but not Abby.

 I liked how everyone was on a different level, mostly.

 All of us girls at the very top!

 This was next to the small corn maze,which the girls had fun going through. There is also a bigger one, but we didn't go through that one.

 Cute stuff.

 More cute stuff.

 Even more cute stuff. 

 This shot had potential, until we got the girls lined up and they were blinded by the sun and didn't want to look at me.

 Chelsea was very cooperative, but the other two, not so much.  This is about as good as I could get. Still cute, though!

 Here's Daddy, getting ready to take me down on the pedal cars. 

And me, ready for the challenge! Rick won, of course, but it was a blast!
It is starting to feel more like fall. Where did the summer go?

Since when did Minot have a pumpkin patch like that? That's fun! It makes me even more eager for fall.

This is the first year that I know of. It's not as big as Papa's Pumpkin Patch in Mandan, but it's still a couple hours worth of fun! (without the couple hours of driving time)
