Hill Ridge Farms

One of my favorite fall activities is taking the kids to the pumpkin patch - big or small, they are all awesome!  Peter planned a surprise birthday trip to a farm we have never visited before about 50 minutes away in Youngsville called Hill Ridge Farms. I can not even describe it because there was so much and it was so fun! It was like the pumpkin patch met the fair (without the rickety rides and flashing lights).  This place is incredible and a year-round attraction! They add the festival of lights and Christmas trees for Christmas and splashpad and petting zoo for the spring/summer.  I sooo hope we get another chance to visit this place!

Lora's Baby Shower

The girls and I had had such a blast celebrating Lora and John's baby boy due in January.  The girls had a blast playing with the chickens, dogs and talking birds! I enjoyed catching up with the Gibbs sisters, Beth and Rick and sipping on John's home brewed beer! All the little details from flowers to food were thoughtfully created to reflect Lora and John!  I can not wait to meet the little guy (maybe Jack or maybe Otis) in the new year (before January 5)!

 

Thank you for the sweet invitation!!!

Backyard Blast!

Yesterday, Jenn suggested a backyard playdate...and boy-o-boy did the kids have a blast!  Thank you Jenn for the spiderweb craft, wine and for always knowing just what I need to make my day a little brighter!
