It was a hot one out there yesterday (yes, actually it really was yesterday, Oct. 6 -- this blog post is actually on time) as we had a party to celebrate Max's 8th birthday (Tues., Oct. 2) with some of his friends at the Lake Ridge Nursery Pumpkin Patch. Hot -- 90 degrees or more -- with high humidity.
The birthday boy
But the boys spent well over two hours running around and playing on the various bounces, swings, slides, rides and other paraphenalia, like motorized toilets (more on that below). It's quite the pumpkin fest:
William at the wheel of the fire engine
Myles keeping cool, poses with pumpkins
One of the spooky moon bounces
Max comes bounding out of the Batman slide
Jackson, one of the friends who came
Jackson's brother, Alex
William -- king of the castle
Max pulling in after riding one of the toilets, believe it or not, around the hay bales ... guess you have to live here to understand that!
Told you it was hot ...
"Mr. Lake Ridge Nursery" himself
We gathered for the celebratorial cutting of the cake and opening of presents:
Happy Birthday, Max!
