Eckerts Farm

It hardly feels like Halloween is next weekend here. Our temperatures have been in the 70's and sometimes 80's, the sun has been shining, and we have been enjoying daily walks in the park. However, since it is almost Halloween, we couldn't pass up on the opportunity to join some friends for an outing to Eckert's Farm.

We took advantage of many photo spots and included some or our favorites.

Here are the girls with their friend, Haydn.
We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at a little country cafe on the farm.

The kids enjoyed playing in this little playhouse, complete with pumpkins and corn to play with.

We found this guy sitting around and invited the girls to sit on his lap for a picture. They thought that was pretty neat.

We took a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch and took a couple of pictures before hopping on the very next tractor ride back. It was dry and very windy out there which made for a lot of dirt in our eyes. Since neither family planned on buying a pumpkin, we were happy to get out of there as quickly as possible. We just wanted to take the kids on the tractor ride.

The wind wasn't any better once we got back from our tractor ride, but at least there wasn't as much loose dirt around to blow up in our eyes.

We bought some tickets and let the kids go on some carnival rides to finish the morning off. Alyssa loved this boat ride.

Ashley and Haydn loved this airplane ride.

And Alyssa and Ashley loved the swing ride so much that they chose to ride it twice.

It was a fun morning out and even though the weather forecasts said we would get rained on, we didn't feel a drop (although it would have been much appreciated out in the pumpkin patch). The weather even warmed up to the high 70's by the time we left around noon. Thank you Roe Family for inviting us along.
