Saturday we headed out to Stone Mountain Park for the fall Pumpkin Festival. The weather was gorgeous, our picnics were packed (no more $5 hot dogs for us!), and we had extra batteries for the camera!
We began our day with meeting the talking pumpkin - he had great stories to tell. Then we headed into the maze - Daddy and Xander were the winners! While they raced through, Mommy and Mikaela investigated every silly corner.
The maze emptied into a bubble fest - yes, bubbles, bubbles everywhere! All 3 kids had so much fun (I can still count, if you had seen Tommy, you would have counted him in your kid count too!). Check out the video in the link of Mikaela trapped inside the bubbles.
From there, our mystery machine had to stop and meet Scooby Doo. The kids got tattoos of scobby doo, the Jetsons (who are they mommy?), and other retro cartoon classics!
Next, we headed to the art village - a few bottles of glue, paint, slime, googley eyes and clothespins - who wouldn't be having a good time? We made candy corn magnets, crow fliers, pumpkin and fall flower decorations, ooey gooey slime, and more!
From there we got to pick mini pumpkins to paint. Much paint was used by Xander, while Mikaela worked hard on her bee pumpkin.
We let those dry while we went for our picnic. Mommy and daddy reminisced of teenage years spent on the lawn at Stone Mountain park - probably not stuff for our family blog! We ate our picnic lunch and rested. A little soccer for daddy, Xander and Mikaela while mommy packed up our stuff.
Off to the treehouse - boys vs. girls! We raced through the treehouse and down the twisty slides. Then, on to the ropes course. We were all quite suprised to find out our princess is also quite the ropes course professional! Mikaela soared through twice - no rope was too small, no rope swung too high, no rope was too scary for her.
We finished our day with the long walk back to the parking lot - with two tired parents!
