Scarecrow Festival

We had so much fun at Cornbelly's that we decided to take the boys back to Thanksgiving Point for the Scarecrow Festival. Cory had to work, so Grandma, Grandpa, and David jumped on board and we headed out! Right when we got there, we ran in to Grandma Jill, Kim, Jaxson, and Wyatt. They were just getting ready to leave, and told us how much fun they had, so after a quick lunch together, we set off for all the bounce houses, and all the fun!

It didn't turn out so well...

Cody loves bounce houses, but he doesn't love lines! We had to wait in line for everything, and try explaining to an irrational 2 year old WHY we have to wait in line, WHILE your in line, and he is having a total melt down! Not so Fun! So, the Bounce Houses didn't work out so well for us, but Cody did LOVE the entertainment! Yep. We walked by the stage, and they had this cheesy Juggler, that wasn't even that great I might add, but Cody was in a trance! He made us sit there for a good 45 minutes watching this crappy juggler! I could not believe how much he loved him! Well, finally we decided to take him back over to Barnyard Boo, and after persuading him to leave his beloved Juggler, we walked over to where the animals were. Of course, the minute we got there, Cody was in heaven and headed right over to that darn Cow!

While Cody and I were checking out the cows, my mom and dad went and got in the line for the pony rides. Awesome Idea! We didn't have to get in that dang line until it was actually our turn to get on the ponies! It worked out PERFECT!

Cody was so excited to run and get on a pony. Bo was a little more skeptical, but he got on. I took Cody, and Grandpa was on Bo duty...

The Ride started, and Cody was thrilled, but poor Bo, not so much! Bo wanted to get off, so my Dad lifted him off, but then he tried to put him back on again, and poor Grandpa was having a rough time keeping up with those little ponies! (They were not going very fast!)

Cody was just a happy boy!

Here is Grandpa walking along side the ponies, Carrying Bo!

Cody didn't want to get off, but we told him we could go on the Hay Ride if he was a good boy, so he got off nicely, and ran over to the Hay Ride!

I didn't get pictures, I'm not sure why, but they had this Awesome hay ride pulled of course by great big horses! It was so cute! So we start out riding along, and all the sudden, here comes the HEADLESS HORSEMAN! It was Awesome! Cody was totally shocked, and just loved that he was chasing us! Everything was just so cute, and done so well!

After the hayride, we let Cody feed the ducks, and other animals with Corn. He was going a hundred miles an hour trying to get to everything all at once, and he was wearing me out trying to keep up with him! And then there is Bo. I am telling you he is the most laid back, easy going little boy! You put him in his stroller, give him some popcorn, and the boy is in heaven!

Nice Mohawk! He needs a haircut, but he doesn't care! He is always this happy!

Cody discovered the "Jail House". There were other little houses on the row, but Cody just wanted to be in Jail! Cody, this better be the ONLY time I EVER see you behind bars!!!





Grandma got in "Jail" with him, and he thought this was extremely funny!

Little Jailbird! When we walked back over to the scarecrow festival, the lines were not nearly as long, so we thought we would give the bounce houses another go. We had a blast! I took Cody, and David took Bo. We were bouncing and falling, and sliding all over the place and the boys were laughing, but I think David and I were laughing even harder! It was hilarious! They wore us out, but they hadn't had enough. But it was time to go, so we started walking toward the car, but we had to go past that dreaded stage! This time there was a bluegrass band playing, and of course, Cody had to stop to enjoy the music! He was dancing right in front of the stage, and it was so funny one of the singers started laughing at him mid-song! Cody just loves to watch the shows! But, since he was distracting the entertainers, we thought we better get him out of there, so we stuck him in his stroller and headed off for the car. Once again, we had a GREAT time at Thanksgiving Point, but hopefully next year, Cody will be old enough to handle the lines and be able to enjoy the Scarecrow Festival a little more! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for taking us and making it so fun!
**Just a side note, I don't think we even got out of the parking lot before everyone in the car, except the driver, was totally sacked out!
