Happy Birthday Wyatt

Since I posted last night before I went for Chrissy here are a few pictures when I went to get her. She was leaving the football game at half time to help Jen at her Cash Bash at Lakeview. I got to the school with no issues but there were no parking spots anywhere. I drove around the lots several times until finally a truck pulled out right across from Hempfield buses. That was great because I knew Chris would know where they were parked and could find me. I was right across from the band instrument transport and she walked right to me.

From there I dropped her off at Lakeview, but walked in to let Nate know we managed fine. There were several people there I knew, including Noah, Autmn and Cameron. So I got my baby fix! They also had photo ops set up, and we took a few pics of Nate and Jen, and Nate and I. The place was crowded and there was a lot going on! I’m sure -as in the past- the event was wildly successful. (Nate just confirmed that is was!)

This morning I did my normal Saturday morning chores, then made cinnamon streusel muffins with chocolate chips. The plan was to meet Kathy’s group at the bottom of Willow Crossing Road so I could follow them, and I’m really glad I did. The farm where the party was held was in the middle of nowhere! And I think Paul took us on every back road between here and the farm, including through Vancouver British Columbia. When we finally pulled in I wondered how in the world Sarah ever found this place!

Wyatt’s second birthday

But it was great! It was Autumn Ridge Farms, and they had so many fun things, especially for kids. In addition to Wyatt and his sister Millie, there was Addie and Conrad and Thea, then a bunch of adults.

Lots of mini pumpkins to decorate with

Despite the back twisty roads we were there early, and helped Sarah and Kyle decorate for the party. They had pizza and snacks and even a hot cocoa bar. And Oreo Ice Cream cake to sing with.

There were lots of animals – some of which the kids could pet and even feed – and Wyatt loved the barn. He didn’t want to do anything else, including eat!

The photo ops were wonderful, and although I didn’t get my picture taken, I did get a lot of pictures. The kids had a ball climbing around and playing with everything. I can see why they call it Autumn Ridge Farms.

Fields and fields of sunflowers
We were encouraged to cut as many sunflowers as we wanted – the frost next week will kill them all. We all brought some home.

I helped clean up and was putting the balloons in Sarah’s car. Paul snapped a picture. I felt like Gonzo on the Muppet Movie. Waiting to lift into the air from the balloons! Just as we were leaving it started to rain, and it’s a steady downpour right now. I’m glad we are all home, inside, and dry.

Up, up and away!
