Halloween fun at Prairie Gardens Farm

Wren waited patiently all morning for our trip to Prairie Gardens Adventure Farm. We had never taken her and Ellie, but thought this would be perfect for them this year! 


If kids dressed up, they got in free. So Wren layered her entire wardrobe onto her body and then put on her mermaid costume. 
A mermaid at a farm. I love it.


She painted a pumpkin to start at the TD Bank tent...and we got free half cup full hot chocolates from the TD truck. Ha, sorry, it was just so hilarious. It was like hot chocolate shots they were so small!


I wish they could have put a cut out for a face on Smee's character for Ellie to stick her face in. Mostly because it would accurately match their personalities!


We found the haystacks to jump around in...


Ellie was thrilled and jumped up and down and squealed! 


But she wasn't sure about the tunnel...


Flower power with Grandpa...


We took a walk in the Enchanted Forest, which actually had many items in it from the old Storyland Valley Zoo...when it had the Storyland theme to it, that is. We saw the three men in the tub, the clock, and other various statues that used to be in the zoo. I actually remember seeing all of those things there as a kid!
One of my favourite parts of the afternoon was watching Kenton struggle to get the stroller over this super wobbly bouncy bridge. It was a had to be there moment, so this pic is posted for my Mom who laughed her guts out with me. 


Oh hey here's all of us!


Ellie found this pumpkin baby and went over to it and touched it's head. She was probably confused. Or liked it. Not too sure.


She really liked poking her little head in the spot of Alice in Wonderland for this photo though!


Ellie and Kenton did the duck races with the water pumps...


And the girls found a sleeping cat in one of the tents. They merely observed it and left it alone to nap.


Wren loves music and enjoyed playing the bongo drums. On the other side, you could also use plastic tubes to drum on pumpkins. 


But one of their most favourite things was the musical group of pretend pumpkin people. But they were actually moving and playing some blue grass music! The girls were so into it and danced. It was so insanely cute. 


The four of us managed to get on the train for a ride as well which was bumpy and fun! 

There was so much to do and see for the girls, they absolutely loved it. And it was refreshing for all of us to be outside of the city and play in such a great place. Because it's so big it didn't feel very crowded...unless you were trying to wait for an ice cream cone in a very long line up. 

We all loved it so much that we have deemed it our new family tradition to come. :)
