Sunflowers

Our sunflowers are blooming! 

Tom wanted to grow some sunflowers this year so he tilled up the ground here, planted the seeds, snaked a soaker hose through the rows, and about 2 months later, they bloomed!  The temperatures are so cool today - a good 20 degrees less that what we have been having so we got out in the yard and enjoyed the fall-like weather.  Here are some pictures from our walk today after lunch and before naps. 

Clara had to hold the sunflower upright because one minute before Tom took the picture, she fell over and bent the sunflower down on the ground.  It was the perfect height for her, so we told her just to hold it up :)
William is too heavy to carry on our walks, so we push the big ol' stroller around the land. 
Clara loves when Chelsea chases her around.
