Pumpkin Pickin', Part II

So after the official pickin' was finished, we ran into our neighbor and his two girls.  They and Isabelle ran off to the far edge of the field, while Lulu toodled around.  I was taking pictures of the merriment and noticed Lucia playing with some dirt (one of her favorites).  Then I realized it wasn't dirt.  It was an ant hill.  A few minutes of hysteria followed as three of us stripped her down, diaper and all, and tried to remove all of the ants.  They were between her fingers and toes, in her diaper, all over her dress... so the poor kid finished out the afternoon in just her diaper and came home with welts everywhere.

If you enlarge this one, you can see that she's actually picking up the "dirt" and playing with it!

The good news is that the welts all seem to have disappeared without further incident.  Phew!
