Pumpkin Launching

The last activity at Eckert's Farm was a show where they launched pumpkins into a field.  The farmer stated that there were going to be a few launches and that he would need help from some kiddos in the audience.  We were surprised to see Isabella raise her hand...and that she was called on to help with the show!  Isabella did a great job giving us the countdown for the pumpkin launch! 
 
After the show, it was time to head home.  The temperature was dropping, our bellies were getting hungry, and Emma was way overdue for a nap.  What a great day apple picking at Eckerts!

It's Isabella's turn!

 
Looking a little nervous at first.

 
But then she saw our family and was all smiles!

 
Yay!  Go Isabella!  Great job!

And there it goes (somewhere out there!).

 
Grandma and Emma watching the next kid help with the countdown.

 
Emma getting the crowd all excited, or maybe just Uncle Chris, Aunt Jessica, and her cousins.

 
The noise was getting to be a bit much for Chase.

 
All done with the show!  Time to head home for the evening!
