We had a super fall fun day planned!
We started our day at the Tippy Harvest Festival with Nana and Papa. They did a fantastic job with the party!
When you first walked in, they had the lobby all decorated with spider webs, spiders and spooky candles. Rapunzel and Prince Flynn were there, too! They were telling stories to the kids by the fireplace all afternoon.
When you went in the main ballroom, they had the tables decorated in the typical Halloween colors. They had a pumpkin painting station, photo booth, face painting and a clown who was making balloon animals! Reagan loved getting her face painted. She asked for an orange cat. She was more excited by the dust of glitter on him at the end.
Next, we moved on to the clown. Orange cats must have been the theme of the day, because that's what she picked him to make her, too!
After we finished inside, we set off to the side yard. They had a bounce house, petting zoo, wagon rides, and a bonfire. We started at the petting zoo. They had a couple adorable FLUFFY bunnies, two turtles, a couple guinea pigs and even a Lemur. It was so cute! Reagan went to pet the turtle and he turned the other way. She cried out, "He doesn't like me." It was pitiful. LOL!
Next, it was time for the wagon ride. We ended up getting the whole wagon to ourselves. It was fun because, they had Snow White on the wagon telling the legend of Sleepy Hollow. Reagan listened quite intently. She just loved sitting with Snow White.
After the wagon ride, we bounced in the bounce house and got some hot chocolate.
Finally, we headed over to the bonfire to make some s'mores. Reagan was interested in roasting them, but she kept covering her eyes. It was so funny. This was the biggest bonfire she has been around, so I think the heat was really bothering her. We got a kick out of Papa, because he had marshmallow goop all over his hands...LOL!
Finally, we hit the buffet. They had tons of yummy food, we were stuffed by the end!
It was a great afternoon and we were so happy we went!
Even though we felt ready for a nap after stuffing ourselves, we were now off to the Akron Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. This is our third year and just love it. They do a great job and give out the best treats! Each station is really decorated well. They had construction workers, soap box derby, candy store, trains, farm theme and lots more. The stations are worth it to go, just to check them out. They are that well done.
We were meeting Adrienne, Jake, Jillian, Evan, Matt, Nikki, Andrew and Ally. Ron, Rachel and Parker were supposed to come, too, but Parker was feeling a little off, so they stayed back.
We met at five and had a great time. The weather ended up being great. A little cool, but not horrible.
The kids all got along great and just had a ball.
We had got them little glow bracelets, wands and glasses, so we had some fun with those.
We had a good laugh at the goat petting area. We got the kids crackers to feed the goats and they were having a good time. There was one that kept getting real close to the adults. I decided to give him a hug and get my picture taken with him. Next up, was Nikki. She moved in and put her arm around him. All of a sudden, he had a hold of her turtle neck! It was hilarious! I distracted him and set her free. We were howling!
Next up was the little train. Jim was nice enough to be the adult to ride with the kids! They all piled in the caboose and went round and round. He said they all just giggled the whole time.
We finished up the night with the carousel. The kids talked about it all night and were excited to finally ride it!
We ended up closing the place down.
Jim and I ended up driving Matt, Nikki and the kids back to their car at the end of the night. Unfortunately, they had to park way down the street and had to ride a shuttle to get there. We piled them in so they didn't have to walk all that way, late at night.
We had a great time as always! Super fun day all around!
