Ok, I’m exhausted. We started out the day by heading to Eckert’s Orchard for a little apple pick’en. We ended up picking about 5 pounds of apples (not including the “samples” that we snacked on during our harvest). Even Colin got in on the festivities. After hitting their petting farm, we drove over the Scott Air Force Base to take in the last day of the Airshow. I ate my share of carnie food and got to watch the Air Force’s Thunderbirds perform their maneuvers. Can’t complain about that. More pics after the jump…

The Long Lost Car Seat Toy

About a week ago, Erin, Colin, Kerry and I went to the local Target to pick up some essentials. After we left, we realized that the toy that had been attached to Colin’s car seat was missing. We decided that it wasn’t worth the hassle, searching the store for the lost toy. Yesterday, Kerry, Erin and Colin were at Target again, picking up some stuff and passed by a clearance end cap. Kerry just happen to look on the shelf and noticed that our long lost toy was sitting on the shelf with no packaging and a $2 price tag attached. Kerry explained to a manager that just happened to be walking by, that we had lost the toy the week prior. He quickly grabbed the toy, tore off the tag and gave it back to Kerry. Target tried to sell our toy! I’m thinking about asking them if they’d sell some of the other crap we have laying around the house for us. Would beat having a garage sale.

Erin participated in the Des Peres Kid Run. She did this after her mother completed the 5K. Dad was unable to attend, but by the looks of the photos, she had a good time. Mom said she ran the whole race (half mile) and evidently has ridden herself of her fear of walking, life-sized stuffed animals. More pics after the jump…

Being 6 months old, Colin was able to get his feet wet at the local pool. I would say he wasn’t exactly ecstatic about being in the pool. A few more pics after the jump…

Erin had her first on-stage performance (well, group performance), during the culmination of her week-long vacation bible school. She couldn’t wait to get on that stage. I’m sure she picked up her timidness from me. Pics and a short video after the jump…
