When I checked the weather forecast, it said that today will pretty much be the last good weekend weather we will have till sometime next year. It's all downhill after this. We are to have some nice days during the week though. The weather forecast also says that we are to be getting snow this year since it is the year for La Nina. Therefore I figured today would be the day to go pumpkin hunting.
Dad had some business to take care of this morning so we did not leave till way after lunch. Mimi saw Halliwell playing in her backyard so we thought that maybe she would like to join us and she did. The girls had loads and loads of fun. The admission was only $5.00 per person but it was the food, drink and pumpkins is where they hit your wallet.
We no sooner got there, Mimi and Halliwell were in the barn where they have instead of a pile of hay like at Remlinger Farms, they have corn kernels. The kids love playing in there. The girls were making corn angels, burying themselves in it, so on and so forth. When they were done and came out of the barn, who should we see? Zoe and her family. They had been there alllllll day! Shelley looked so worn out. Poor thing. Then there was the cow train, bouncy house. wall climbing, pony rides, long mine shaft slide, another bouncy matteress, hay rides, just plain running in the field. So many things for them to do.
Of course we cannot go to the farm without eating fresh roasted corn on the cob, homemade lemonade and funnel cake. Of course there is the picking out the pumpkin. Sad part is.......we had a really bad, Bad, BAD summer. Hardly any at all. So therefore the crops were not good this year. It just did not get hot enough for any length of time. The majority of the pumpkins are still green. Janet says that Fred Meyers is selling pumpkins at 18cts a lbs. We bought just one pumpkin for Mimi to make her happy. May go to Freddies next week.
Alleyah was really working her mom to let her and her dad Mike go into the Haunted Forrest. Zoe, Mimi and Braden wanted to go to. Halliwell had her doubts. Mike said that they made it so scary that last night 30 people had to be pulled out of there because it was so scary.
What is the Haunted Forrest you ask? It is a corn maze that is opened at night and according to Mike they have chain saws going without the blades and people in there to scare other people. Needless to say, we did not take Mimi nor Halliwell. Mike nixed it for Zoe and Braden, however he and Alleyah will be going which made the girl sooooooo excited.
