Eckert's 2010


We have not posted since early August, and there is a reason. We have been BUSY!!!! Ryan's sister, Tory, got married September 25 and Mandy has been putting her all into helping out with the wedding. We are glad to announce that the wedding was a beautiful success (it was a gorgeous day) and Danny and Tory are officially Mr. and Mrs. Danny McCorkell. (We hope to post pictures of the wedding later, but we didn't take any ourselves...gotta wait for the bride's copies).

Now life will slow for us for a little while. At least, that is our wish. We were able to spend some family time together this weekend and we went for our annual trip to Eckert's Farm. And as is tradition, we dressed Brendan in his Halloween costume to take some pictures. After the photo session, we ate some good country food and made our way to see all the animals. Brendan was a little too timid to get too close, but was able to name many of the animals that we passed. He's still reminding us, the day after, that he saw a "big camel." It's amazing to see how much he has learned just since last year. We then stopped to watch the pig races which Brendan loved. Each time they would let the pigs run around the track, Brendan would yell: "Go! Go! Go!" So cute. We then picked apples from the tree and found our perfect pumpkins: a daddy pumpkin, a mommy pumpkin, and baby pumpkin. We ended up with a beautiful day and another day full of memories.
