Raegan is 6!!!!

Our first born is now six years old!!! I can hardly believe it. She turned six on Saturday, the sixth of October. Her actual party is next Saturday but we had a small celebration this past Saturday. Gavin's parents came up a few days before to be here for her special day. We had her best friend over and all headed over to our local mini-farmer's market. It's called Krops Crops and we are faithful patrons. They sell pumpkins, apple cider, apples, and other produce during the appropriate seasons, and Christmas trees. We've gotten to know the owner's daughter, Lori. She's great.:)

First the girls played in the corn pit (kind of like the ball pit except with dry corn kernels instead), then we had freshly picked apples (SO YUMMY!), and fresh apple cider while we waited for our hay ride. Umm, it was so good. The hay ride was fun and cute. The girls LOVED it! It was a bumpy ride and they laughed every time we hit a bump. We ate our apples on the ride. Eliot especially loved the apples. She sucked on Gavin's like it was a pacifier!

Half way through the ride we got to stop and pick our very own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch! The girls took their time searching through all their choices before finally deciding on the perfect pumpkin. They really were the perfect pumpkin for each one, too. ...so funny.

Then we loaded back up on the wagon and finished our hayride. The girls played in the corn pit a little longer while the adults went inside to buy some more apples and cider.

Once we were home we had cake and Rae got to open her presents. ....there is so much to say, but I won't. I'll just tell you simply that every other present we had planned fell through and we decided on something that we would not normally have gotten her, but are now so happy that we did. Raegen is now a proud owner of a convertible corvette - barbie style, of course. Yes, it had to be convertible, her mommies first car was a convertible. How could I not pass on the tradition.

Even though this gift is a little extravagant, it has been a source of much entertainment. We have all laughed more in the last few days over this silly little car than anything else I can remember of late.
