On Friday 11 kids and four crazy moms went to Thanksgiving Point to their annual barnyard boo. This is kind of like a little carnival on the farm country at Thanksgiving Point and I am sorry to say that I was a little disappointed. Not only does it cost more than to just go to the farm but they also wouldn't let me get everyone in for half price with my membership. They did have a few little activities for the kids to do that is extra but you can only do 5 with your purchase price. All Grace wanted to do was have her face painted, we have been there several times to ride the pony so she really didn't care about that, and the face painters where already gone when we got there at 4 when it was open til 8 or 9. The pony ride was a 45 minute wait and my kids didn't really care about the other little activities. They did get balloons, Grace got a pink pig and Blake got an orange hat that he picked all by himself. We also rode the wagon and decorated cookies. It was also fall break for all the schools so it was completely crowded hence the 45 minute wait. All in all think that it is safe to say I will not be doing this next year. The kids had fun but not anymore fun than if we want on a normal day for free.
This year instead of a trunk or treat our ward did a fall festival on the 18th. They did lots of fun games for the kids, face painting, coloring, dinner and cotton candy(my very favorite treat and quickly becoming my kids favorite too). They also took family pictures which is to the left and I am posting it even though I think that it is an awful picture of me. Cameron is not in it because he is in Vegas trying to clean up our house for new renters but that is a whole other story. The kids had so much fun. The dinner was soup and Blake is not crazy about soup so he eat candy for dinner and let me just say he was bouncing off the walls even more than he already does. After we got home he just laid in his bed yelling at me, it was kind of funny. Anyway the kids did dress up so here is a sneak peak for Halloween, a monkey and Jasmin. The picture below I really like of Blake because he is multitasking. He wanted to throw the sponge but he also didn't want to give up the frog he just won, he wasn't using his mouth for anything so perfect holding place, such a smart kid. They also threw a football at milk jugs and both knocked over a few. Grace was also very happy about the face painting since we had missed it yesterday and hey this face painting was free!
