This weekend was a hoot. Grams and Gramps rolled into town on Friday and we promptly went to the Zoo Boo. I will get pictures up some time today. It was.....Ok. The kids had fun getting their costumes on and going, though it was nothing to brag about. We went to the one in Lincoln, Nebraska at their children's zoo and that one was amazing. So this one slightly paled in comparison. But we did get some free chocolate out of the deal. And that always marks a good time in my book. Saturday the Waltons (my nickname for all of us because we do everything as a massive clump of people) headed to the apple orchard. I'm fairly disgusted with apple orchards. They've become so trendy. You can't just go and quietly pick apples anymore. We stood in line for 20 minutes just to find out that the apples we wanted to pick weren't ripe yet. Then they have this huge thing for kids called Pumpkin Lane. IT WAS 5 DOLLARS PER CHILD!!!!!! I know for some people that's a good price but when you have four and you're broke......Then my kids REALLY wanted to ride the hay wagon. That too cost money. Remember when it was free????? My mom decided that the kids needed something so off she went on the tractor ride. So we headed out slightly disappointed in the apple orchard scene. We did however go home and have an amazing dinner and card night together. All's well that ends well.
Now however, my home was apparently the target of some nuclear testing this weekend so I must dig through the rubble and see if there were any survivors.....If I don't blog soon, please send help.

well i am glad the kids had a good time...the pumpkin patch we went to was 6 per person but everything was included..hay rides, corn maze, catapult,eveything..
I hate it when activites for children get to be too costly and u have to pay for every activity separptely..that is a bummer
ahhh, the after affects of kids and company. fun stuff. :)
i don't know, i have 1 child and i think $5 is pretty high....
so glad you had a great weekend! :) i love family time...
I like the new look.
And I'm with you on the whole apple orchard thing. It's been our family tradition since Evy was about a week old. When we went to the orchard last weekend, we had to navigate through the fields of minivans to a parking spot. We marveled at a line an hour long for some donughts and cider and headed to the back to get on the wagon that would take us picking. When we finally made it through the crowds to the little barn, there was a sign there that said "All apples GONE for the season"
At an APPLE ORCHARD?!?!?! You've got to be kidding me!

speaking of expensive, i finally looked into the air zoo... is it worth $20 a person??? it looks like it could be, but sometimes websites are a little cooler then the actual place...
NO it's worth every penny. It really is a fantastic thing.....
