Patrick's First Birthday

Almost everyone is in the picture above from October 11th, the fabulous 1st Birthday Party of Patrick. Thanks to all for coming and helping celebrate.

Pumpkin Patch

Patrick had a wonderful time at the Disneyland of Pumpkin Patches. In case you haven't guessed it is the pumpkin patch at Avila Barn in Alvila Beach, CA.

Hollywood Here I come, I found the video camera!

It is almost time for the 1st birthday party and it seems crazy that just yesterday he was learning to roll over and crawl for the first time. Now Patrick is fully mobile, learning about how things work, checking out the video camera and on his way to the rest of his life. Watch out world, here he comes! But don't get too excited, he is only 1 year old on October 7th, 2009. You can leave the excitement to his parents!!

Picnic in the Park

The moms live and attend the same church in Decatur GA, the kids and grandkids live in Aliso Viejo / Ladera CA. Today they some got together for a picnic in the park at Laguna Niguel Regional Park. It is a small world as they say.

Wildlife Week continued

It's wildlife week here at the Turner household. Today we had the pleasure of meeting "D" (Diablo) - Picture Center - and Rush - Picture lower right. They are the horses of our neighbors and friends Ron and Amy. Once again Patrick was at home with the horses and had a great time on top of "D" who is a quite large horse at 17 hands. "D" is a draft horse which is a relative of the Clydesdale horses and is the calmer of the two. I imagine we will be back for more visits with our new animal friends.

The Petting Zoo

What else would want to do on your 17th anniversary? You guessed it...Zoomars, the petting zoo in San Juan Capistrano. Patrick is the most happy when around animals and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the animals and going on 2 pony rides. As you can see, he is very comfortable on a horse based on his genes I am sure it will continue.

Party at the Beach

Patrick is loving the time at Edisto Beach, SC. He loves to play in the sand, with the toys and with all of the other 7 cousins and 6 aunts and uncles and 2 grandparents
