We got a jump start on the season with an invitation from the blonde next door....Hope turned two and had her party at Red Barn Farm. We spent a whopping 4 hours in brisk wind basking in mother nature. It was nice to watch the kids run without worrying about them getting into trouble. They wore their boots (we had lots of welcome rain the day before) and we didn't worry a second about mud, though we went home caked with it.
The party was a blast. The boys were the only representation of their gender, surrounded by 5 blondes and 1 brunette....all under the age of 6.

Gill in action mode, complete with boots and muddy pants. He was very excited about the pumpkins, but could not be persuaded to pick one, rejecting every one we could find without a flaw.
Jonas taking a ride on a fake horse. He declined the real pony rides. He was more excited about cooking the pumpkins than carving them. He also enjoyed picking apples and immediately eating them.
An interesting twist to the end of our day. The pumpkins we carefully selected, harvested from the fields, posed with for a family photo, carried back on the hayride, lugged up a hill, watched over carefully during the picnic, and schlepped to the check-out line were left there when we realized it would take an hour to pay for them.
So we went home....pumkinless, exhausted, and happy.
