Benjamin's 3rd Birthday Party at the Farm!

We threw Benjamin a 3rd birthday bash at the Orr Family Farm in Oklahoma City on Saturday! 18 friends joined us for all sorts of farm inspired activities. The weather was beautiful, we couldn't have asked for a better day. Everyone had a great time, including - most importantly - the birthday boy! Here are our favorite photos from the day...


Catching a little pre-party shut eye on the drive up there... he would wake up at random intervals and ask if every random field or barn was the farm!
Real horse rides! Benjamin had the special treatment all day as the birthday boy which included kicking off each new activity. He made sure to pick the biggest horse out of the group.
The animal barn was a huge hit with our little cowboy! He couldn't believe that he was allowed to go inside their cages and touch them! This sheep was his favorite! I think it's because he did the best job of holding still for the kids to pet.
This pig slept through the whole visit... but he was still fun because he didn't run away, was caked in mud, and he snored really loud!
The train ride was really fun to, which you can't tell from his expression :) It was just torture to stop for a photo op when so much was going on around him!
Hot dogs, chips, punch, cake and presents!!!
A really cool toy called Big Loader that works through 4 different vehicles at a construction site to move rocks around all by itself!
A fireman hose/ball shooter... which has been on his wish list for a long time!!!
A great interactive book... which only touches on all the great presents he received!
What a great day!
