Barnyard Boo!

I really love fall and Halloween and Thanksgiving Point totally feeds my addiction. This year we went to Barnyard Boo a carnival farm adventure for the younger crowd. We went with Aunt April, cousin Caleb, and cousin Tate, and my friends Wendy and Julie and their cute kids. We weren't anticipating as much of a crowd as we encountered but that's what you get when you go anywhere during UEA.



(L to R) Tate, Seth, Steven, Caleb and Ella.



Here's Julie trying to wrangle the kids for pumpkin bowling.



Seth loved the game and actually played it twice. The kids all had a card with little ghost punches on it and they could pick 6 activities to do at the carnival.



Here's Caleb showing the best part of the games, the treat.

Ella showing off her sweet tootsie pop prize. It doesn't take much to get these kids excited folks.



This game was a top 5. You got to throw bats into the windows of a haunted house. The idea was once you get 2 through you are done. Seth kept running around the back to collect his bats so he could play again. He's so darn cute that no one even tried to stop him. Oh the power he wields.



Finally the much anticipated horse ride. It was so popular that Aunt April had to save our place in line for 30 minutes and couldn't leave because Tate needed to be near the horses.



Here's Tate happy as a clam because he finally got his horse ride.



Caleb liked the horses as well. Looks like we've got a bunch of cowboys on our hands.



The favorite activity of the boys was the "make your own goo". They got to mix in in the bag and it was green and gooey. Then they played with it the rest of the day.



Seth and Caleb decided to do the witch mask activity. I think they turned out great.



Caleb was so proud of his witch and very excited to show his mom. He specially requested yellow hair like his mommy's.



The crew showing off their rad tattoos. (L to R) Ella, James, Mathew, Kaylie, and Caleb.



We had to get some goat feeding in before we went home.



This time Seth decided to sit it out and let the other boys get their fingers licked by goats.



The face painting booth was a great idea but the line was INSANE! They only had 2 people doing the face painting. C'mon throw some more people out there. How difficult is it to paint a pumpkin or a bat? Ella opted to have her hand painted instead of her face and immediately washed it off upon returning home.



Here are two scary vampires James and Matthew with their scary face paint.



Caleb was our last minute face painter. He didn't want to do it at first but when we told him we were going and it was his last chance he jumped on the band wagon. I think the spider turned out very good.
