This past Saturday my friend and neighbor Christy and I took our kids to the Zeeland Pumpkinfest. When we arrived there were very few people and activities out. We found their historical museum which had a few activities centered around the theme of corn for the kids to do which was great; they made corn bracelets, ate foods made with corn, planted corn kernels, played a bean bag toss plus we got to explore this really cool little museum. We discovered a few more kid's activities down the street, but we didn't feel like paying for our kids to play cheap little carnival games. The outing would have been a bust, but thankfully The Critter Barn had a huge area set up with tons of animals for the kids to see, hold and pet! We spent probably an hour in this area and of course this was a huge hit with all of our kids! Oh and who could resist the cute little candy store as we walked down main street?!?! Each of the kids got a little treat for the ride home. We topped the whole morning off with a trip to McDonald's play land for lunch and some time to rid themselves of their never-ending energy!
Making bracelets. Notice Matthew trying to do just what the big kids are doing!
Matthew putting things on his bracelet - love his little tongue stuck out in concentration!
It's rare, but Matthew can sit still!

Matthew thought the Angora Rabbits were funny!
Joshua loved the Angora Rabbits and all their fluff too!
Matthew tried to feed the goats hay.
All the kids caged with the goats!

Checking out the turkeys. We see wild turkeys all the time in our backyard, but never this close.
