Ella and I have had a lovely fall here in St. Louis. Ella especially enjoys the leaves on the ground (a leaf in each hand makes Ella a happy ). I have especially enjoyed the outings with our playgroup. Today I would like to share with you a particularly fun outing to Eckert’s farm in Illinois.
Eckert’s Family Fun Farm (how could anyone resist going with a name like that?) is located a quick 30 minute drive through country roads surrounded by colorful fall leaves. Our primary purpose of going to the farm was to pick pumpkins at the pumpkin patch, but there was so much more to do!
First we watched pumpkins being shot out of a canon, though Ella was more interested in the hay we were sitting on. We watched several pig races next and then fed the goats. Ella even let the goats eat from her hand. We went on tractor rides through the apple orchards and on hay rides to the pumpkin patch. We danced to barn music and slid down the mine shaft slide. What a day!
