actually yesterday i was grateful for Pumpkinland.
but since i woke up this morning and was like "
This weekend I wanted to do something fun and fallish with the babes, but a little bit more fun for them than apple picking. Last week when my momma drove me to the casino we drove past this place called Pumpkinland. I had heard of it before, but wasn't really sure what is was or where it was. Well, after driving by I at least had the location part of it down, but I still wasn't exactly sure what the whole thing was all about so I looked it up online when I got home.
It was sort of like this itty bitty amusement park for kids on a farm and the whole thing is halloween/fall themed. there seemed to be quite a few things to do that were included in the cost of admission, and a few extra fun things that you could pay to do. It was only a 45 minute drive or so and the weather ended up being beautiful yesterday so we took our chances and met up with Mickey (my biological father's ex-wife whom I have recently reconnected with) and checked the place out.
It was really so much fun. It was the first time the babes were meeting Mickey and it was really a fun way for them to be introduced. the pace wasn't crazy or action packed like it might be at a fair or amusement park, but there was still plenty of things to do for the babes to have fun. right off all Miss Georgie wanted to do was go see the llamas. There was an animal petting area that we went into with llamas, goats, donkeys, and lambs. The kids both had fun looking at all the animals, Breyman isn't really as adventurous as Miss G, so he didn't pet any of them, but he still seemed amused by the llamas funny noises. There were also several bouncy houses and slides that were included in the admission so they had alot of fun jumping and sliding around on them.
The biggest attration (and the most fun it seemed) was what was called The Giant Pillow. It cost like 8 bucks for the kids to jump on it, but the thing was indeed friggen cool. it was like one giant trampoline, but it was the same material as a bouncy house, and it sort of rounded up out of the ground like a giant pillow. So cool. a bunch of kids could jump on it at once and i seriously wished for a minute that i could have hopped on as well. the babes actually ended up on it a second time and we totally got our money's worth because they were hardly any kids left so the staff didn't time them, just let them jump as long as they wanted to.
They rode some horses and saw pig races. Every child also got one free pumpkin with admission too, so we all took a little hayride out to a pumpkin patch and B & G picked some pumpkins to take home.
I'm so grateful that i discovered this little place and took the kids to it. there really aren't all that many fun family things to do around here, so it was wonderful to be able to take the kids some place fun to enjoy the season. and it was also nice to catch up with Mickey again and have her meet my babes. my only regret is that The Marsh couldn't be there to share in the fun..
but with our disney trip in only 9 days, I'm sure we'll have lots of fun to make up for it!
Thanks for reading!
