We love Thanksgiving point for fall fun. We planned to go a couple of weeks ago but it was really rainy. Last saturday was beautiful and a great day for it. We started out on the jumping pillows. They are so much fun, and great for the whole family. Cole wanted me to hold him and it was a lot of work! The kids did the jumping pillows many times during the day.
I was jumping when I took that last picture. Can you tell??
There was a little wooden train that Cole and Cagney loved climbing all over.
Cole could peek through the smokestack...
Cagney could peek through the smokestack...
Two at the same time!
They had go-karts. (I was so tired after pushing Cagney around the track and she excitedly exclaimed, "I did it all by myself!")
There was a big scary creature that we walked through. It was pretty much dark and loud. Miquelle, Cagney and I exited early. The boys liked it. I'm missing the "enjoys dark and loud things" gene.
There was a huge mountain of hay bales with all kinds of slides coming off. They kids played there for a long time. It made me nervous because there were so many different ways to get up and down that it made it hard to keep track of everyone.
We went on a hay ride and for a ride on a cow train. Yes, a cow train. Last year I rode with Cagney and we had to ride in one of the small cows. It was painful. I said I wasn't going to do that again. There were only a few people in front of us in line. Surely we wouldn't have to ride in a small cow again.
Jared and Gabe in a big cow.
Miquelle and Cagney in a big cow.
Me and Cole in, Yup...a small cow car. It was painful. Not doing that again. Nope, not doing it.
There was a little princess playland and I think Cagney was in princess heaven. They had all kinds of princess dresses to try on. Cagney would put on a dress, run over and look at herself in the mirror, climb in the playhouse, go down the slide, and run over for another dress. I think she completed this cycle about 20 times.
The kids all loved this corn box. Playing in a box full of corn, the greatest thing ever! While we were sitting there watching them I realized I was sitting right by Nicia De Gering (of Good Things Utah). We had a conversation about whether letting our kids play in a box of corn was less gross or more gross than letting our kids play in a ball pit (like at a fast food place). We decided that the ball pit was much more gross.
Jared's head is under the bucket. Silly kid. He wanted to wait for some poor unsuspecting kid to climb into the corn box to play and scare the daylights out of them. We advised against it. That would have been pretty funny though.
It was a very fun (and beautiful) fall day. We stayed a lot longer than we had planned but the kids were having so much fun we didn't mind.

I've been to that festival thing before. it's a lot of fun. I think it would be more fun with kids though.
