Apple Picking at Eckert's Family Fun Farm with Grandpa and Grandma

Last weekend, we headed out to Millstadt, IL to go apple picking at Eckert's Family Fun Farm.
We took a photo last year around the same time. Obviously, Emmy (outside the womb) and Bo are a lot bigger. Notice downtown STL in the background.

Since it is a family fun farm, there is lots of other things to do besides just pick apples. Here is Bo doing hurdles over the bales of hay.

Here is a video of the race

Are these two related?

Anyone want a ride?

We fed the goats, antelopes, and camels.




They also had a "bouncy bubble" and here is Bo doing a face plant.

We ate lunch then we rode the tractor out to the orchard to finally pick some apples

As you can see even Emmy picked one and enjoyed herself...for the next hour on the same apple. She was in heaven.

Bo picked plenty also. He had his own bag so we bought about 2 months worth of apples. Really Daddy was just hoping Mommy would make some yummy pies and treats.

We got a kick out of him trying to drag his bag to the tractor to go back to the farm.

In the end, Emmy could not defeat the mighty apple

And Bo enjoyed a big special treat. A sucker the size of his head. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a sticky car seat, window, etc. I think the day was a success.
