I've taken lots of pictures this summer, but so far few have made it onto the blog. It seems they don't get there without some assistance! So, here's Hannah - going for her first wagon ride. She was quite intrigued by the flowers...
...and had to get a closer look. 
She did very well in the wagon - by that I mean she didn't attempt to climb out until almost the end of the ride! 
We've enjoyed many a breakfast on the deck at the Timbers this summer. Usually, only Grandma D accompanies us but on this day Grandma Eidse made the trip from Rosenort to join us as well.
Elliot was in a fine frame of mind, hence the happy smile! 
Here's Hannah with her two great-grandmas!
The highlight of the summer for many Mordenites is the Corn & Apple Festival. The boys looked forward to the rides and used their wristbands to the fullest extent! Friday is the day they chose to go because the crowds hit their peak on Saturday & Sunday. This was kind of an "entry level" ride, not too fast or scary!
The carousel is always a favorite with all kinds of animals to ride on.
It started off we were just going to get some lemonade. It was such a hot day! So, we got that & then decided we really were a bit hungry, too, such we got a container of fries to share between us. The thing is, there's no place to sit. So, we found this nice shady spot beside a building and ate our goodies there.
Then Jody pointed out that the shishkabob line was non-existent. This NEVER happens! So, by now we were more than just a bit hungry & got a couple of them to share. Here's Jonas enjoying the last of his.
The petting zoo quite possibly was the most fun of the Corn & Apple, for me, anyway! I loved watching the kids interact with the goats & lambs. So much fun! Here Sadie gets up close & personal with a baby goat, or kid!
The rabbit doesn't flinch as she reaches to touch & feel it's soft fur.
That's a BIG goat, Sadie!
It's pretty amazing how tame these goats are! They just come at you with no hesitation! Sometimes they're a little too brazen!
They are just waiting for a mouthful of hay.
Jonas is a little hesitant at first, but becomes more comfortable with them.
Elliot was also a bit slow to warm up to these aggressive critters, but eventually he did.
Sadie quite liked the chickens and with Papa's help, had them eating out of her hands!
She was quite enthralled with the whole experience.
