Eckerts Fun!

We went to Eckerts today...as in we, I mean, me, Marcus, his mom, and Evie.  While us adults had a great time, Evie (has a slight cold)...not so much! 

We arrived at Eckerts, talking the whole way about picking only good apples off the tree and doing fun things with the apples when we got home.  Evie was pretty excited and got even more excited about the tractor/wagon ride to the apples.  We got off the wagon and set Evie loose.  She just stood there...I guess she dislikes long, wet, yucky grass covered in rotten apples and ants, bugs, bees, etc...  Marcus picked her up and we were off picking our apples.  We tried to get Evie to pull apples off the tree, but she would limply try with only one hand.  I think our whole apple adventure lasted not even 15 minutes.

We got back on the wagon, purchased our apples, and then walked around the country store.  Evie had so much more fun shopping (I know this surprises all that know Evie...haha).  She found a little kid shopping cart and was off to collect her goods.  She picked out a little pumpkin, and then to my surprise had a box of pumpkin sugar cookies!  She was a pretty good driver, only running into one or two people along the way.

We then ate at the Eckerts restaurant.  Evie and I especially enjoyed the biscuits and apple butter!  We then headed home and Evie (and I) took a 3.5 hour nap!!!
