Cantigny

There's a great place near here that we go to about once a year called Cantigny. It has acres of beautiful grounds, a fantastic war museum, the mansion home of the original owner, and best of all (for the kids) real TANKS they can CLIMB on! Every time we go I think, "Why don't we come here more often?" This time we went because they were offering free hay rides around the grounds, so we did that first.

Eli couldn't get over the fact that we were being pulled by a tractor! He reminded me of the fact about every ten seconds our whole twenty minute ride.

This is Eli's new "cheese" face (with his head tipped way back):

And, of course, the tanks! Check out Eli's unsure face. It wasn't his idea to sit on the wheel; he wanted to be on top climbing! I gave in after awhile and nervously watched him try to keep up with his pretty agile brother and sister.

We should go more simply for the exercise; I've never seen Logan run so much as he did here from one tank to the next!

It was a fun fall day out with my kids!
