Eric Moody: Beautiful Fall Weekend

We had a very relaxing weekend this weekend after our little boy took this week to stay home and recover from the croup. We had high hopes of going to the zoo for "Zoo Boo" where Cam could go Trick-or-Treating at the zoo, so we got him dressed up in his monkey outfit (I'm going to be the "Man in the Yellow Hat") and headed out Saturday around 11. We pulled up and saw thousands of people and a huge line/wait to get it. With Camden just getting over his cough and with me fully into my own cough/congestion - we decided we didn't want to be in such a huge crowd. I guess the sunny and almost 70 degree weather had everyone out with the same idea.

We decided to redirect and go to Wheeler Farm, which is an historic farm now owned and operated by SLC Parks. It was an awesome day and Cam got to see all the farm animals much closer than the animals at the zoo! Being in the Monkey outfit just helped with the fun!

It was a beautiful day that was perfect for picture taking.

Most of the leaves have already fallen in the mountains but down here in the valley they are now very vibrant. I love this picture of Amy and Cam playing in the leaves.

Cam wasn't to sure he wanted to pet a horse - it is a bit bigger than he is! It actually tried to eat the fake banana in his pocket

But boy did his eyes light up when he saw all of the ducks and geese!!

He could have stayed to watch and chase the ducks for hours. He thought it was funny to throw leaves and watch them react, or just chase them back to the water (Note to PETA - no wild fowl was injured in the making of the below photo)

We spent most of Saturday at the farm and got everyone home in time for dinner and to bed early. It was a full day for the little guy just getting over his cough. His little nose is still running but he is definitely acting like the fun little guy we love.

Sunday was pretty un-eventful as we stayed home most of the day to work around the house. We got the yard mowed and trimmed (hopefully for the last time this year) and our deck stained/sealed before the winter weather hits again. We were able to get all of this done and still have a little time to go the park for some fun.

Camden likes to climb the rock wall for the exciting......
