A Cold Day at Cornbelly's

We spent a full day at Thanksgiving Point with the Simpson girls, Angie and Rusty, and Grandma! The pony rides are always a MUST for these girls--they could go again and again and again and again and...you get the picture. They LOVE those cute little ponies! After giving those cuties a full day's worth of laps, we slowly made our way through the rest of the farm. I say slowly because we really took our time, stopped to feed babies, stopped to talk, stopped to take pictures, stopped to feed goats and ducks, stopped to let Paige, Daisy and Annabelle dance on the stage then run to the jail then back to the stage again, over and over and over again. It was so nice and the fall colors were BEAUTIFUL!!

After experiencing everything the farm and all its animals had to offer, we walked across the parking lot and continued the fun at Cornbelly's. The event started off with a bang! The girls loved playing in "Mrs. Brown's House," as well as sitting in Cinderella's carraige. Annabelle was in HEAVEN as she gazed around that carriage with a smile on her face, just soaking it all in. Paige was a champ and stepped in as her driver :)

At about this time, it became FREEZING! However Paige and Annabelle had just began their fun so we tried to stay as long as we possibly could, hitting the jumping pillows, the Cow Train, a little playground, a few pig races, and a REALLY bumpy hay ride. The girls enjoyed themselves, but baby Stock? Not so much. The poor little guy was miserable :( We called it quits and lucky me listened to a screaming baby for close to 30 minutes straight the whole way home. Would you believe Annabelle fell asleep, then continued to sleep right through it? I guess that gives you an indication as to how tuckered out she was! I think cold weather does a similar thing to our bodies that swimming does...EXHAUSTS it! :) We got home, fed the kids, put them down to bed early, and all was well. What a day! Extra THANKS to Grandma for stepping in to make Stocky as comfortable as possible while I rushed Paige and Annabelle through as many "games" as I could before we all froze! What would I do without her?!
