Birthday Fun!

Benjamin's birthday was just a hoot-and-a-half all the way around.  To start with, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Hannah made their first visit up to these Northernmost parts :)  Though their visit was short, we made the most of it and went apple-picking, Central New York's distinctive fall activity ... it was too much fun!

I'll take this one right here!

Plus, we came home with 20 pounds of the best-smelling apples I have ever ... well, smelled.  I was thinking of making apple butter, but we ended up just eating them all!

You mean there's more apples over there?  Maybe I want those instead...

The farm where we went apple picking also had pumpkins, animals, tractors, and all kinds of fun, so after picking our apples, we just lingered and enjoyed the gorgeous day...

And then, to top it all off, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Hannah gave Benjamin birthday gifts perfectly fitting their role as the Tennessee Uncle and Aunt ... a camo jacket and a pop-gun!

So, that was Benjamin's birthday ... his party was actually the next day, and I'm gonna have to save that for the next post, because remembering all this fun is making me tired.  Thanks so much for your visit, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Hannah!  What a wonderful memory of Benjamin's first birthday!
