A Little Boy's Birthday

Since I was in Little Rock to celebrate my birthday in August, it only seemed fair to return there to celebrate Mack's birthday. The day began with donuts in the car on the way to Motley's Pumpkin Patch Farm. To say the least, Mack was out of his gourd with excitement.There were farm animals like this goat...
And all kinds of pumpkins and weird gourds.

Mack wasn't overly impressed with the pumpkins, though he loves anything with pumpkin in it, just like his Daddy.
He did like the slide built in the hay bales.
The ride on the Cow Train was OK too.
I have to say that the highlight of the day for me was the pig race. They were thorough bred racing pigs and had us all cheering for a winner. I think this one's name was Jimmy Dean, named after the actor/singer (not the sausage maker for heaven's sake).
Here is a family portrait. The owner of the farm told CM she wasn't supposed to smuggle pumpkins out of the farm, but it appears she didn't listen.
What is a birthday without presents?
And Mack had to have Grandma L's chocolate cake. Daddy is helping him blow out his candles.
So Young Man, we are so happy to wish you a Happy Birthday and trust that there will be many, many. more to come.
