After a great dinner we went wandering around a little bit and took a dam walk. As the temperatures were dropping and the wind increasing, I noticed this guy out fishing near the boat landing. With many of the trees already leafless, it’s things like this that grab my eye. It looks like we’re not the only ones trying to avail ourselves of every warm weather opportunity before the cold sets in for the season.
I can’t remember if these wooden toys were here last year, but we sure were happy to see them this year. If you look closely you can see my two-year-old peeking up from inside the “hopper” of this wooden combine. It’s accessible from the “intake” in the front. There are tractors, trains, and all kinds of fun.
Autumn moves pretty quickly in North Dakota, so you’d better head out to the Patch before the opportunity passes you by! I know how it goes; everybody is really busy these days. We didn’t get out to the Patch as soon as we would have liked, and it’s taken me even longer to post about it! We’re not done visiting it for the year, though…my little toddlers would love to go back a few more times.
