Pumpkin Days 2015

This was it!  The best harvest weekend of them all!  PUMPKIN DAYS!!!  I have literally been looking forward to this for a year and it was finally time.  I had told EVERYONE I knew about it and convinced the Gunns and Mareshs to join us out in Parumph.

The first place we found was the petting Zoo.  Last year they had the most exotic animals.  This year there were not quite as many exotic animals but they had the most adorable animals.  Like...

Baby Bunnies!
Harper was in HEAVEN.  There were close to 15 baby bunnies who were just so sweet.
Sometimes she needed help being sweet!
Baby Goats
Harper also held really still to get her face painted (which was included in the $15 entrance fee). 
The girl was really sweet and created the most beautiful butterfly.
Although there were fewer exotic animals, they still had a few.  This was enough to get Londons attention.
The Armadillo was really fun.  It actually rolls up into a complete ball.  The trainer said this one is way to friendly and never rolls when around people.  She likes to play!
Paisley and Scarlett enjoying the little guy.
London and Harper were both interested in petting the lizard (I can't remember which kind).  This picture is going to become more and more fun as they get older!
London loves animals already.  I see many fights over pets in my future.

They also had Minituare horses!  #lilsebastion. 
She is hugging him!  How cute is this picture!
Paisley enjoyed the bunnies as well.  She is painted as a kitty cat, although I think she got the least experienced of all the face painters.
Scarlett was REALLY looking forward to the pony ride.  She got really lucky and was the last one to ride the pony before they switched to cart rides with the miniature horses. 
Harper was happy that the horse unavailable and we got to ride in the cart together. The driver actually owned all the horses and told me they were all rescues.  I didn't realize that their were so many miniature horses that were mistreated.  I am glad there are people who care enough to rescue these little guys.  
After some horse rides it was Hay Maze Time.  Steven was good enough to take all the kids through.
Shortly after the Hay Maze Tyla, Kade and Jana Maresh Joined us.  Harper was happy to show her the animals.
Harper spent the whole morning being TERRIFIED of the Lawn Mower train.  All she had to do was stil on this while a lawn mower pulled her around. She was not happy.
She also enjoyed playing on the Haystacks.  Kade was pretty much king of the mountain after 30 seconds.
Harper rode it again, although she doesn't look very happy about it.
London explored the back of the police car.  It was not roomie.  Just one more reason to not be arrested.

These two couldn't get enough.
I LOVE this festival.  It is all included, the perfect size and a great way to spend 3 or 4 hours.  You don't think that there is a ton to do but it is just enough for the kids to do everything multiple times.   I love it and can't say enough things about it!
