Happy Birthday, Ava!

From Solomon: Yesterday we celebrated our friend Ava Lily's second birthday at Bauman Farms!

Ava opened a new winter hat and matching gloves and put them on straight away. Then she opened our package, a stroller and a baby, and immediately set off toward the gardens sporting her new accessories and pushing her new charge through the scenery. It was very cute. Mommy fixed the picture to look like an oil painting: After the pinata and cake, us big boys and our daddies went off to tackle the 4 acre corn maze. Half way through, a corn battle spontaniously broke out between the boys and the daddies who had taken different routs within the maze. Ears were flying back and forth overtop of the field and smacking not only members of our group but some unsuspecting teenagers completely unknown to us. The lot of us hid close to the ground and stifled laughes as we heard the surprised grunts, gasps and groans of perplexed victims who had intercepted our ammo. Things eventually evolved into a full-scale corn war as the teenagers took their revenge. By the time we emerged, out of breath from laughing, some of us (namely poor Ocean) were bruised and a bit bloody but the war had been won.
