Cornbelly's Pumpkin Patch

October 2012

 "Mommy, come on! I look so silly"

 They had an array of these wooden playhouses for sale. They had a bus, castle, train, ship, and car. One day I would love to get Rio one!

We all went to Cornbelly's to pick out pumpkins and play in all the great stuff they had set up for kids. It was amazing! They had so many fun things for kids to do and play on. Rio had a blast with Parker. Rio picked his first pumpkin- a white one! It was a bit chilly and we did not get to spend as much time as we would have liked, but Rio enjoyed himself nonetheless. It cost $10 to get in per person and I was dying of course :) but it is a tradition we want to continue in the future and we like supporting local events like this.

Rio Turns 1

September 23, 2012

For Rio's special day we hung out with the Joyners at their farm. It was so fun. Rio got to pet horses, baby chickens, jump on the tramp, pick vegetables in the garden, and hang out with his best buddy Parker. It was a wonderful day!

 

 The Joyners always have the best Holiday decorations! 

 Wally was so amazing with Rio and patiently held the baby chick until Rio was ready to pet him. Rio loved all the animals. That's my boy!
