We love the relaxed, natural atmosphere and the wide open space where the children can run, play, visit the giant pig, hide in the corn and search for the perfect pumpkin.
Mostly we just like that we're able to have this gathering out of doors. We're lucky to have given birth to our child in the early Autumn when the weather here in the Pacific Northwest can be somewhat wet but is almost always comfortable. With outdoor celebrations it seems like Nature does a lot of the decorating and hosting on her own and even provides a fair amount of entertainment.
We laid out a table with tiny pumpkins and stick on decorations and these ever so creative children were in fine form.
We also took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch where all the children found the very best of pumpkins. They, of course, have to be just so.
I tried out my amateur face painting skills but I think what the children liked most was decorating the mommies and daddies.
Most of the day was just spent frolicking and enjoying the farm and its many inhabitants.
We were lucky to avoid the rain and enjoyed a beautiful, festive day with many of our beloved friends and family. Just as we unloaded the last party remnants from the car at home the sky opened up and poured out a storm.
Happy birthday to my wonder-filled little girl.
Wonderland, my what a cool pumpkin patch, cheers Marie
