All Aboard!!! Tiago's 2nd Birthday October 2008

Toot...Toot......
All aboard for Tiago's 2nd Thomas the Train birthday party. You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting, Bates Nut Farm in the fall.....atta girl Dev. We also celebrated Granpa Robert's birthday, which actually fell on the day of the party, October 18th.

History of Bates Nut Farm.......east from Carlsbad, in Valley Center. For us SOCAL beach dwellers it is the country. Large oak trees, fall foliage, pumpkins growing from the ground instead of at the supermarket. They grow nuts, pumpkins, corn.....anything that they can get to grow. Always open for picnics, parties, craft fairs and of course they are famous for their Halloween Pumpkin Patch and Hay Rides.

Tiago was adorable and infatuated with anything Thomas the Train. Much fun to be had by all, hay rides pulled by a John Deere tractor, pumpkin hunting, pinata's, geese and goats....need I say more?

And the party begins....enough Hay Bales to make horses start to salivate

Cake designed and prepared by Grandma Cher
Carley and Luke...nice to see teenagers at a Thomas the Train party.
Brother and Sister......Guarding the cake, keeping the bees at bay, didn't you know bees love chocolate cake!!!
Anneliese and Cayley

Patty, Uncle Ted and Caitlin


The presents start to pile up....of course Tiago, Finn and Lucas had to play with them as opened, smart, make sure they work.


Great Grandma Edna, Rachelle and Aunt Grace


Fleece Hat......funny part, it was actually almost 100 degrees at Bates Nut Farm that day.


Finn learning that not all gifts are for him, has to start some time. Imaginarium blocks from Aunt Kara and Uncle Mark.

Pinata fun begins.....duck quick! Tiago is at bat.

Finn with Pinata, did his mother dress him in perfect color coordination.

Time for the Hay Ride, a full ride around the property being pulled by an actual John Deere tractor.

Every good day must come to an end, but what better way than hand in hand with cousins.
