Taegen turns 3!

My little boy turned 3... I can't believe how big he is, and how much he is growing every day. Saturday morning we started out the day by eating birthday cake and opening presents, of course. Taegen got lots of fun things including books, a baseball hat, a razor with a helmet and pads, a new car seat, and a jersey. A special thanks to my parents and Jared's as well for their contribution to these great gifts. We then had decided to go to a place called Linvilla Orchards, which was sooo much fun. Its like a really big farm that they also turned into a great place to go with lots of fun activities. We were lucky and ended up going on apple festival day. We got there and started out the day by getting T's face painted. He picked out his own face which was "Big Green Dog". I think it suits him quite well. He sat there so good for her to paint and didn't even move a muscle, I wish he would sit that good to get his hair cut!!!

The finished product... scary huh?
We then moved on the the pony. Jared and I both thought he would start to cry, but nope not this big boy, what has happened. My little boy is so brave!

Then was the hay ride pulled by a tractor. Taegen of course loved this, they drove through a lot of their farm and showed you where everything grows including apples, pears, peppers, squash, blueberries, ect. It is a huge place.

They also have this huge playground, which of course is almost like heaven for Taegen. He was running around almost not knowing what to do because there was so much to choose from.

And we finished off the day by of course eating even more unhealthy food. Here Taegen is eating his cookies like a dog, you have forgot that he is the "Big Green Dog".


















And what would a day out be with out the fried food, although I can't remember what these are called, sorry.



We had sooo much fun. This place has so much to offer and we will be going back.

T's the cutest green dog I've ever seen! Looks like he had a great birthday. (P.S. - the fried food looked like funnel cake to me - YUMMY!)
