This weekend we had dueling birthday parties to attend. The first was at a mini amusement park called 'Funderland'. We were there early, and the kids wasted no time getting to all the rides and the roller coaster, again and again and again. Then there was the picnic lunch, which we ate in a bit of a hurry, as at the same time, birthday party number two was starting about 30 minutes away.



Sadly, we had to skip on the birthday cupcakes. (There was no way we were going to have two tired, hot, and sweaty kids in the car all amped up on frosting, with a little bit of cupcake and juice box to wash it down!) But we were at the second birthday site soon enough. This was at a place called Impossible Acres. There was a hay bale maze, hay bale pyramid with tunnels, regular climbing hay bale pyramids, hay bale animal pens for baby animals. Yeah, hay bales all around. We also went on a tractor ride. I know, not a hay ride, just a platform pulled behind a tractor. Kids still have fun. They had fun pointing out the occasional scarecrow or farm animal in the pasture as we meandered by.

Then came the birthday stuff: pizza, juice boxes, and cake! The kids also got to pick a 8" pumpkin which then decorated with Mr Potato head parts, which later turned out to be recalled items! Well, not exactly the brand we had, since ours were more of an animal design, and we now have two cat themed pumpkins in our front yard.

My favorite part of the day was when I asked the kids what their favorite parts of the day was, and Isabelle said'' "holding the bunnies."
