Ekerts

One of our favorite Hylton family traditions is a day at Ekerts in October. 

The four of us getting ready to board the ferry.

Well, 5 of us if you count Elle's doll Ashlyn buckled in. :)

After our second ferry ride we stopped for lunch. We actually went to the same restaurant we went to last year because Sissy was requesting frog legs for lunch again. 

And for the second year she actually ate them and enjoyed them.

This girl is just like me in so many ways...but she is all Eric when it comes to eating!

And Ollie's eating habits are identical to mine!

My boy enjoyed a grilled cheese and french fries and refused the frog legs...just like his mama!

My tall girl!!

No picture to mark her height but look at my baby in 2014!!!

Ollie preferred to pose solo by the pumpkins instead. :)

I just want to pick that squishy baby up and squeeze him!!!

Smile babies!

On the hayride to the apple trees. :)

We let them both sample an apple.

Elle and Eric did most of the apple picking while I followed this little guy around.

My most favorite girl!

After we picked our apples we rode down to the pumpkin patch, which we hadn't done before in the past.

Elle was determined to find a square pumpkin like Spookley from the movie Spookley the Square Pumpkin.

She was SO EXCITED when we stumbled upon this square-ish shaped one. 

She was truly the happiest little girl alive!

She also thought Spookley would just live at our house forever, she offered to have him hang out on the porch or he could go to the basement after halloween with our decorations.

Throwing him away after we carve him is going to be heartbreaking. :(

I LOVE these pictures of Ollie trying to hold up his pumpkin...

look at that little face!

Headed back with her pumpkin and a big bag of apples. :)

After we paid for our goodies the kids played on the playground, saw the goats and then we loaded up and headed back home. 

Such a fun fall day!
