Apple Picking at Eckarts Farm






This weekend, Jeff, his brother, and two uncles went to spread Jeff's dad's ashes over their family burial grounds in Mississippi. I am glad that they were able to carry out his last wishes and also gain a little more closure in doing so. In the meantime, Jeff's mom and I took the girls apple picking and had a nice time despite getting somewhat lost on the way home with 2 VERY hungy and tired girls. There were all kinds of animals there too that I would have never suspected. For instance, there were camel, llamas, baby wallabies, sheep, ponies, baby pigs. Am I the only one who feels badly for these animals when the babies are not with the mamas, and wonder if they get enough water, and why there are about 8 ponies who are forced to walk around in a small circle all day long....and lastly wonder if they are being treated respectfully??? Okay, now that's out of the way...the girls liked seeing all the animals and really loved apple picking. There was a tractor and wagon that took us out to the apple orchards. Cameryn LOVED LOVED LOVED the apples. Maddison, who doesn't like fruit at all was feeding me the apples. It was neat seeing them pick the apples right off the tree!
