Many adventures

My nesting has taken the form of not cleaning, but hurry and visit all the places you've wanted to visit before the baby comes. Here are some pictures of our adventures.


Pick your own apples at Eckert's Farm. Wholesome family fun!

Yum!


Isaac's favorite part was riding to and from the fields on the "cu" = truck = wagon behind a tractor.


There was a fun little fair outside where we got to sit on tractors, ride John Deere trikes, play mini golf, and be jealous of those big kids riding the horses and swings.

I want mom to carry me now


We found a half price day for the Meramec Caverns so we braved the hour drive down there. Isaac did really well in the car, both ways, and was in awe of the cave when we got there. He wouldn't let us put him down the whole time. I was just glad we didn't have to worry about him touching things that weren't to be touched. It was a neat cave with lots of awesome stalactites and stuff. There was a little free fair outside and Isaac got to ride a little tractor train twice!

The Great Forest Park Hot Air Balloon Race. Blake and I have attended every year we've lived here.

Isaac loved the "la la"s and would wave "bye bye" to the people inside, who were also waving.

He maybe loved his blonde brownie more than the "la la"s.
Possibly the only pregnant picture of Marie to ever be published.

Hi Blake & Marie -

I don't know if you remember us from the village, but we came across your blog through someone else's blog. We were glad to find you and see what you've been up to since you left (that was a long time ago!).

Well, well, well. I don't know if you remember me, but I saw your comment on Chris's blog and wondered if it was you, and here you are looking absolutely adorably prego! Love it! Looks like things are going great for you. Congrats on the impending babyhood!
