The Big Red Barn

Recently, one of Avery's best little buds turned two. Garrison (maybe linking to his page will shame his Mommy to get back into the blogging world!!!) and Avery are two peas in a pod and just love each other. Will also has taken Garrison under his wing. I find Will holding Garrison's hand, leading him places (probably to play with forbidden toys or run around and scream...you know what boys do best!).  I am from the same hometown as Garrison's parents, although they are slightly younger than me. Every Friday night we are in town, we try to do dinner with them.

Dressed for the occasion: a smocked dress and camo rain boots!

Garrison had his party on this neat little farm in Wake Forest. Farmer Mary had a wide array of animals and most of them were just roaming free amongst the party guests. Some guests (like Will) found this more fun than others (like Avery). Avery liked them from a distance!

Some of the cool animals we got to party with included some peacocks, goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, an emu, donkey and a few more I am sure I am forgetting.

Big Mama (Lindy has a striking resemblance to her we think)

And while it rained, we stayed dry for a long time under Farmer Mary's towering old trees. Lisa really outdid herself with the food and decor. The cupcakes were decorated like pigs, sheep and chickens. Too cute!

Big Mama can move when Will and Garrison chase her!!

Happy Birthday, Garrison!!!!
