Eckert's Fun Farm and Apple Picking

We met up with my sister and her family for some good ol' times down on the farm! Henry took a spin in the apples, visited the petting zoo, enjoyed some ice cream, and had a front row seat at the pig races. But the best part of all was the apple picking! You can't beat a nice, bouncy wagon ride, of course. Then, Henry was lifted up on Daddy's shoulder to pick his first apple. And...he bit right in! He's never eaten an apple like this before, and we were all quite surprised! As a friend of mine said, maybe he just needed to know where they came from. His apple kept him occupied for the rest of our time in the orchard. Such a sweetie! To have some farm fun of your own you can check out Eckert's at www.eckerts.com

A Little Rain Must Fall

Since Henry loves airplanes, we thought a trip to the air show would be quite enjoyable. The plan was to see the planes on display and leave before the noisy flying and stunts began. Unfortunately, we ended up there on a rainy Sunday, and Henry's expression seemed to reflect the day. Every picture I took he had the same face. He even cried when we tried to put him in a plane. So much for our #1 pilot. Maybe next year...

First Carousel Ride

Here are some pictures from Henry's maiden voyage on the carousel at the St. Louis Zoo (at least I'm pretty sure he was a first-timer. I have no other photographic evidence of said event). We were there last weekend with my sister and her family. Such a fantastic experience! His face really lit up when we started moving!
