Black Island Farms

Off to pick our pumpkins.
Thing 1 and Daddy picking Thing 1's.
Thing 2 sure likes the dirt!!!
Run piggies RUN!!!


This is B turning Thing 2's head for the picture. I thought it was hilarious.

Thing 2's face is permanently filthy. No matter how I try to keep it clean.
Waiting for her chance to sling corn cobs out into a filed. SOOOOO exciting!!
Chuga chuga choo choo.


Thing 2 pointing at Thing 1 and waiting till she could get in the jumping house.

Thing 2 enjoyed the guns. Every time she pulled the trigger she would make this little noise of ugh and grin.


The slides, this is actually just one of the slides. There are about four I think. I did the smaller one with the girls but that was it. I am too much of a scaredy cat.

Good ol' fashioned water race. We put in the little duckies and then pushed the water pump to get the water a flowin' and off they went...hopefully.


Buckin' broncos. Ride 'em cowgirls.


Cute lil donkies.
The girls enjoy farm animals.
Feedin' the goats. In the picture below you can see the little pygmy in the background. He was pretty darn cute.


These are pictures from our second trip to Black Island Farms. We decided to go on a Saturday morning and hope it wasn't too crowded. We were content with the turnout and the girls LOVED IT!! We enjoyed every part of it. From petting zoo area, to the water races, the slides, shooting paintball guns, the little train, the giant bouncer, flinging corn cobs into a field, the maze and of course the tractor ride out to get our pumpkins. There is so much to do there. We've enjoyed the activities two years now, I hope that wherever we move to has something similar close by.

Family Fun

Back in October we went to a place called Black Island Farms. Unfortunately, it didn't open till 4 and we were there much earlier than that. Since we drove a good 45 minutes to get there we didn't want to just turn around and go home. B had noticed a family fun place and we went back to check it out.
We did a round of bowling (I'm not sure that is what it is called but whatever) and then we did a full course of miniature golf, with black lights. Ohhh spooky. The girls loved it. Their favorite was the bowling. We pulled out the guide and the bumpers for them. Thing 2 was always eager to get her ball and bring it over to the lane. I was nervous she was going to drop the ball on her foot. Luckily, we were always able to get over to the ball retrieval area with her in time to help her.
There were a few parts of the golfing that really did spook the kids a bit. It was a really fun course, well, the decor was fun. The actual course could have been a little better, with bumps and things of that sort. Some of the theme parts were a bit freaky.
