Pell Farm birthday celebration

Yesterday began the insanity that is J's Birthday Weekend. Being born so close to Halloween certainly makes for a very festive mid-Autumn season for us all! We went to the Pell Farm in Somers, CT, to celebrate his birthday with some of our homeschooling buddies.

Here's a picture taken in the picnic area in front of the hay maze with our new piglet, Pig, while we were waiting for our guests to arrive.

J the bat and Zoo Boy the pumpkin guy. Behind them is the corn maze. We had a gorgeous afternoon for farm fun!




Some of the party guests enjoying the hay ride through the fields and woods (J on the far right, Zoo Boy next to him).




Party time! Cake and apple juice for everyone!






When the day was over, all the kids got to pick out pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.

Not shown was their very cool petting zoo area with llamas, goats, ducks, chickens, calves, and of course PIGS. The kids were given a bit of animal feed and had fun handing it out to their favorite critters.

Can't think of a nicer start to our weekend o' fun!
