This year was a bit more exciting - since D is older and more IN to the whole idea of rides and attractions and Halloween in general. He was excited to look at/ride on/touch & feel EVERYTHING.
We started with some of the farm animals - feeding them from the $0.25 corn vending machine. D loved this - he loves animals and gets such a charge out of letting them eat from his hand. Here's a super short video clip of the laughter that ensued every time his new-best-friend the goat came near him.
After that it was off to the rides. It did cost a lot more this year since D had strong opinions about riding the rides - but it was a one-time excursion so we played along.
He rode a motorcycle in circles
The BIG slide with Aunt Marcy (2 years running)
A flying dragon, a train, and a dragon rollercoaster with me - which was SUPER unsteady and felt like we were going to fall out every time. Ten minutes after we got off - the ride was shut down. Uh...okay? But D loved it of course.
He and Uncle Evan then made their way to the petting zoo. Feeding more animals, making friends with goats, llamas, a pot-bellied pig, a calf, and some chickens. He pet a baby lamb, bunnies and a sheep as well. I don't know who liked this part of the trip more, D or Uncle Evan.
We made the mistake of telling D he could get a little pumpkin - then taking him to the painted pumpkins. When we found the BATMAN painted pumpkin all bets were off. $10.00! But it looks super cute in D's room.
And - we visited Spiderman.
All that and a trip to the sign "How Tall This Fall" - which has become an annual tradition. And in the spirit of tradition - I will post all three years of pics from this sign. I think the sign was not all the way in the ground this year - as D is MUCH taller than last year - but appears to be hitting the same point on the chart. Oh well.
Another year of memories. LOVE.
