Pumpkin fest

Like I said on Friday, we went to Stone Mountain for the Pumpkin fest. gruntled did something a little more adult with his weekend but then again his kids were off visiting grandma and grandpa. We got there around noon thirty on Saturday (Grace had dance in the morning) and we ate lunch. Luckily we were able to park near the reeds so we met up with them fairly easily. We made our way in and through the line to get our tickets and we were in the fun.

They’ve done a lot to the area around Stn. Mtn to make it more family friendly, there’s a ropes course, tree house and foam play house for the kids and most of the stuff at Pumpkin fest is included in the price of an admission ticket or a season pass which was cool. We rode the train, saw a movie played in the woods, painted pumpkins and faces. We did everything you should do in the fall. Except take a nap. None of the little ones (except baby will) took a nap until we hit the car at 7 for the ride home to dinner.

It was a good day and a lot of fun for the little ones, but I was worn out and it was hot. It should be cooler in October…

    It should be cooler in October, but it hasn’t been. We haven’t had a good, cold winter in years! Actually, the past few Thanksgivings have been spent frolicking on the beach with the fam… Did they have punkin’ chunkin’? We should blueprint some designs for trebuchets tout de suite….
