Eckert's Apple Time!

On Friday, Sept. 14, we went with our local playgroup to Eckert's Farm in Grafton, Illinois. After a long but beautiful drive on the Great River Road along the Mississippi, we made it to the farm! (Maria slept and missed the scenery.) We had a wagon ride around the orchard, got to play in the rocks, check out the animals, and got a goody bag of apples for the road. But I have to say Maria's favorite part was the mini-golf! Yes, they have a miniature golf 'course' near the playground, and Maria made a bee-line for the putters, grabbed a ball and "swung away." That's our Daddy's girl! She also liked the animals, though she thought the goats were cows, and the cows were elephants!?! Guess we better review that "Baby's First Animals" book again...
