An Enchanted Saturday Afternoon

Last Saturday we spent the afternoon driving the Enchanted Highway, which boasts seven larger-than-life metal creations. We stopped at four of them and made the event a progressive picnic to boot.

Our first stop was at the pheasant family, a male, female and three chicks. These are the three smallest.

All my guys hanging out in the metal grass.

Our little monkey, Levi shimmied right up this metal pole with the greatest of ease.

Wade got a little too close and got his head eaten.

He was so tasty that they ate me next (I am typing this from the belly of the pheasant).

Stop number two was at "grasshoppers in the Field."

This was probably the boy's favorite because there were lots of smaller hoppers they could climb on.





Stop number three was "Fisherman's Paradise," which I thought was the most impressive, even if it wasn't as much fun to play at.



The final snack stop was at "Teddy Rides Again" featuring Teddy Roosevelt riding across North Dakota. Also at this stop was a stagecoach pulled by wooden horses. We ate our final installment of the progressive snack inside the stagecoach.

We stopped at this point of interest on our way home from church on Sunday. A crop duster was working over a field of sunflowers.
