Country Mercantile Harvest Festival

We took the kids over to Grandpa's Country Mercantile Harvest Festival and they were in Heaven. We started out on a train ride where Max entertained us with his jokes and tour around the Mercantile.
Next, it was time to try out Grandpa's new roller coaster. Kali loved it and could not get enough. Krew on the other hand told us it hurt his ears. He came off saying, "sorry guys, it hurts my ears." :) I am not sure if he didn't want to admit he was scared or if it really hurt his ears?
The kids wanted to get their faces painted and Kali knew as soon as she saw these dolphins this is what she wanted. Krew thought he was so cool to be batman. He wanted to show everyone.


The kids enjoyed some popcorn and cotton candy and took a picture with Grandma.
Krew thought he wanted to ride the ponies, but after he had road around a few times, he decided he wasn't in the mood today. I was kind of surprised because he has ridden on a big horse before and LOVED IT, maybe these ponies are just to small for him and they just went in a circle, boring, right?:) or maybe it hurt his ears???
LOOK HOW TALL THEY ARE!!
We had races through the straw bale maze...
and climbed the straw bale pyramid. Kali made it to the top!

We got lost in the Corn Maze, I have heard several people make this comment,
I need to ask Max if there is really a way to get out??
We made our own exit.


We visited the petting zoo.






the poor goats and sheep still need names.

This was our first weekend there and the kids are excited to go again! We still need to take the pumpkin ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick the PERFECT pumpkin. Kali spotted one she wants to take home, it looks like a 50 pounder. She said, she wants the biggest one. Stay tuned for this next week, we will see.

Gwenevere and I where looking at blogs together. When we came to your blog she saw the first picture with Aaron and Krew by the Train. She pointed to Aaron and yelled "HORSE". LOL.

Your families Mercantile looks like so much fun. Gwenevere loved all the pictures of the animals.
