Eckert's Farm

Today we enjoyed some fall fun at Eckert's Farm. We ate, we played, we watched magic shows, we rode rides, we bought pumpkins, we drove tractors, we pet a llama, we bought fudge, we had fun.









My little triplets!



















From a photography perspective, Owen is tough one to catch. Of all three of my boys, he is the least likely to cooperate with me when I want to get his picture (thus the reason you see many photos of Drew and Evan on my blog - it is not just that I'm ignoring my middle child!) Owen has the sweetest little dimples and round face - a smile from Owen just melts your heart. We call Owen our 'gentle giant.' He is an amazingly strong two-year old boy and is a thick kid! He weighs 40 pounds and has an arm like a rocket (Dan's eyes radiate with pride when Owen picks up a football and fires it at his target showing off his incredible strength!) But inside our little giant, is an extremely sensitive and kind-hearted little boy that just wants to make everyone happy.

Given the chance to capture some Owen moments here, I took advantage . . .









We watched a magic show today at Eckert's and the magician was extremely interactive. So much so that when he asked for volunteers, all of the kids' hands went up in the air, including my two boys! I was super surprised when I watched Drew and Owen get selected and march right up to the stage without a moment of hesitation to participate in a magic trick. Such confidence! They were definitely the youngest on stage and I feared they wouldn't be able to understand the magician's directions (as an example, when the magician asked Owen how old he was, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'm FOUR." His mother had to correct him, "No Owen, you are TWO!") The boys did great and Dan and I were cracking up!
