Old things

Ok, so 5 isn't very old, but I can't believe my first "baby" Paisley turned FIVE on Saturday. Poor thing doesn't get quite as much attention with the second baby around, but we still love her! For her birthday she got lots of dog treats, bequeathed to her by her cousin Ally who went on to doggie heaven last week :(.

Caden has gotten to play with Lego-ish toys that Hillary & I had when we were little, and it's just so fun to see him explore different things. He really likes the cars & trains and will drive them around on the floor. So cute!

Aw Shucks Farms

On Saturday, we went on our first real family "outing" to Aw Shucks Farms in Monroe, NC. I had bought a Groupon for it, so admission was half-price, and it was a perfect day for fall activities! I'm sure it would have been more fun for Caden if he was 3 or 4 years old instead of 8 months, but I loved at least giving him a new experience (and taking pictures).

Cutie(s)

They had continuously running hayrides around the corn maze, so we each took him on one (didn't want to leave our stroller & stuff by itself for us all to go together).

Love my family!

They had a (small) pumpkin patch, so I got to live out my dream of taking fall pictures of my kid with a bunch of pumpkins (haha). Caden stood & inspected this pumpkin for a bit, but we decided not to buy one there.

Daddy tickling the Cadester - I love his giggles so much!

They also had a corn maze, which was a little disappointing because the corn was not as tall as Wade, so he could see over it :). There were also some goats, chickens & turkeys, and a random little pony you could buy food to feed, but we didn't get in on that because there were a bunch of little kids in the way. Probably better not to get Caden's hand bitten off this early anyway ;-).
