We had a wonderful three day weekend here. We went to the Home Show on Saturday, celebrated our 6th anniversary on Sunday with a trip to the mall and Cheesecake Factory, and Monday we redeemed VIP passes to Eckert's Fun Farm. Yup, that's right, this dandy little blog here really paid off. My post on apple picking at Eckert's earned us two free passes (a $16 value, mind you:) to the Fun Farm and a $5 Eckert's gift certificate (see their comment in my previous post). What a pleasant surprise! Someone there must do a lot of Google-ing. Anyway, even though it was a little overcast we enjoyed our time again....
We took the little tractor train ride. It was bumpy!
Henry rode his first ride all by himself! It was the little airplanes, of course! Since Eckert's wasn't too crowded he was the only one on the ride, and his doting parents stood inside the gates.
Fly Henry, fly!
Cousin Eli would be jealous...Henry was chosen to cheer on a pig at the pig races (another benefit of a small crowd). I think his piggy's name was Kevin Bacon.
We had to hitch a wagon ride to the orchard for a few apples. Henry loves it so...and Fuji was in season (my favorite!).
Next stop, the pumpkin patch. Notice his apple is still in hand. "This one looks like a keeper!"
We sort of had our hands full in the patch, so we picked up a couple more pumpkins on the way out. Here's Henry trying to the pull the wagon. When we checked out, the woman was very impressed by my gift certificate. I guess they don't see those too often...I felt special:)
We decided to just visit Chad and friends at the annual camp-out in Giant City State Park.
My nature boys!
For some reason, Henry enjoyed playing with the ice from the cooler.
Back at my parents' house, Henry was all up for having fun outside!
This sure is a big job for one little rake. Where did my cousins go off to?
