They had a wide variety of fun things to do including a playground surrounded by bales, a small petting zoo, "punkin' chunkin'", a corn maze, barrel rides, a tractor driven hayride, and a horse drawn hayride. The kids had a blast. And though it looks bright and sunny in the pictures, it was actually freezing outside on Saturday, so the kids had to be rather bundled up the entire time.
Here, Brendan rides one of the little tractors inside the "play area"...

Brendan - our little farmer!
Time to do some "punkin' chunkin'"! All you need is a big, oversized sling-shot and a chunk of pumpkin - pull the sling-shot back, put the pumkin in, let it go, and watch the pumpkin fly into the woods!
Pull it back as far as you can, Brendan!

Momma and Halle on the hayride...
Halle almost fell asleep while we were bumping through the fields...
Next up: Halloween pictures and HOPEFULLY some new baby pics (if she ever decides to arrive, that is!) :)
Brendan looking cute by the firepit...
On August 9th, Cary took the kids to their first circus in Montevideo, MN. I stayed home and worked so as to save my vacation for after the new baby comes.
While Brendan rides an elephant! They had a great time!
Then on August 19th the whole family went to a tractor show near Itasca State Park. Here are a couple of pics of the kids while we were there...
Starting with his very first day, he's LOVED going to school. They have lessons everyday, and he brings home a project or two each evening. And to add to the fun, he rides a bus to and from school every day, which he finds pretty cool! It's a great experience for him! 
They camped all along the way...
They sat on benches...
They "rode" buffalo...
And they went to Wyoming!
