Black Island Farm Fun!

One of my friends, Dallas, arranged for a discount day at Black Island Farms.  It was a blast.  Instead of having to spend $10 for me and $8 each kid, it was only $4 each kid and I was free.  Great deal, huh?!  We spent all day there.  I hung out with Dallas and her cute kids and then my fried Natalie met em there with her little girl Eleanor and we stayed the rest of the day, at least until they were getting ready for their night stuff anyway.

 This was a definite favorite of the kids!  I mean, who doesn't love to jump inside a huge pumpkin?

Brena had  a blast bouncing around!

Ian wanted to stay in that thing all day!  He even did pretty good in it with the older kids.  He would bounce and fall on his stomach and say "plop!"

 The kids even got to feed some animals.  The donkeys and llamas loved being fed by the kids and they go such a kick out of it.  I think we spent about a half hour just letting them pull grass and feed the animals.  I was so proud of Brenna for not being scared.  She is my big scaredy cat so I thought she wouldn't go near them, but she did!  she even petted the llamas.  =)

They had fun swinging on these cool tire swings.  Not your average tire swing huh?  I loved the dragon shaped one. 

Of course if there is something to make noise, my kids are sure to find it!  They had fun jamming out.  Brenna loved the drums and Ian just loved banging on everything.  Typical boy huh?

The kids got to ride around on a little train.  Brenna rode that thing all afternoon!  I think she rode it at least 10 times.  She loved sharing a car with Deakin, Dallas' boy.  These two have fun whenever they get together.  Ian liked the train, until it drove away from mom.  We took another ride in it later and I rode with him and he was fine with it then. =)

Now who doesn't love a good romp in the corn box?  You don't have to worry about little grains of sand getting into weird places.  Brenna kept making "corn angels."  Ian loved this too!  He kept laying in it and burying himself.  He doesn't like it when the sand sticks to his hands so he loved the corn.  He loved it so much that he kept trying to eat it.  Yuck!!

 It's playtime!  They loved the teeter-totters.  But their favorite was the slide.  There was a huge slide that Ian couldn't climb to the top on so I helped him ad then we would all slide down together.  It was fun!  I felt like a little kid again.  I need to do that more with my kids.

Last but not least, the pig races!!  They would have piglets run around to race for a treat- animal cookies of all things. =)  The second to last race Brenna picked the pink pig to win and it did!  The last race, Ian said green, and the green pick won =)  Two out of four races aren't bad.....maybe we should find some real races to bet on =)

My little poser!  She was such a good girl for me all day!  I don't think I had to get after her at all to listen or anything.  Such a sweet girl!

My two lil' punkins'!!  I sure love these kids!! They make each day an adventure.
