Birthday Weekend!

It's was Josh's birthday and he wanted to go "home" to celebrate!  We started our Friday having dinner with some of our closest friends.  Saturday Josh spent the day working at his grandparents pumpkin farm.  We went up in the morning to visit, enjoy a hayride and some fall fun!

If you've been to the farm before you know the hayrides get busy and it's best to do that first.  Rory took his first hayride with Josh driving and Pappy along for the ride.

Rory wanted to ride again so this time I went along!

 

 



 

It was the most beautiful day for a hayride!  

 

 

About half way through our ride Rory wanted to help his Dad "drive."  It's pretty precious!

 

 

 

Then we met two of Aunt Becca's baby cows!  Let me tell you they were adorable!  Meet Mario and Luigi!

We couldn't leave without getting a face (Rory got his on his hand) painting!  It is a little ironic that Rory immediately picked a spider because he says they scare him but it was what he wanted.
Stefanie did a great job and Rory was so proud of his spider.

 

 

 

And...I have to include this one because Josh is pretty country...he grew up that way. It's just who he is...BUT, I caught him showing Rory how to wash the dirt off of pumpkins!! Haha!! This is not something he ever would have done 5 years ago.  In fact he used to laugh at the "yuppies" that would wash their pumpkins before taking them home.

What would our birthday weekend be without a homemade cake from my Mom and decorated by Rory.  He was quite artistic!  Happy Birthday Josh!
