Third Annual Birthday Extravaganza at Aldor Acres

Yes, it's that time of year again already. Davey's birthday is on Tuesday so today we headed out to Langley and met my brothers, sister and nieces at Aldor Acres.

I must have driven too fast, we got their way too early. Luckily there's plenty to do outside the gates.






What a pretty face ash!


All four grandkids.
Nicole arrived with a present for the birthday boy...
Beaming his thanks even before it's open. It was an awesome puzzle book. Thanks Nicole!!

Remember last year? Now they're all too old to look at the camera!!



That's Peter the Great. He's Aldor Acres' mascot. He's MASSIVE.


All four kids and all four grand kids.
This signs a wee bit off...my friend Nicole is about 6'3" by it's reckoning...
Hey! Time for a wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch!!


Hmn Tink, most people pick orange pumpkins for carving. But green is kind of cool...


Hunting for the perfect pumpkin (Rob, Jade, Dave)
"I think I found it mum!"
Rob helps Ashlie with her search.

The three little ones have found their pumpkins, now it's just up to Ashlie to find hers.

So Dave ran across the field with Ashlie on his back. Maybe if they run really fast they can cover the whole field and find the best pumpkin.

Success!

We loaded the pumpkins into the cars and then ventured off to the petting zoo.


I'm not sure what they're looking at.




Ashlie and Jade are sitting beside them with ice creams. Davey and Tink were wondering if they'd ever get one of their own.






This is Ashlie showing us how she can stuff most of a cone in her mouth at once. LOVELY!



Then it was back to Grandma's house for pizza and cake. Jade got crazy with the purple wig:

Next she put it on Uncle Andrew: "You're Auntie Andrea"


Hmn, I don't think so. Purple is definitely more Andrew's colour than mine.
