Thanksgiving Point

Every Tuesday for the month of August Thanksgiving Point is only charging $2 per person per venue. So we took advantage, and went! My mom, sister-in-law, Amber and her son Nash, my five kids and I went to Farm Country. The kids had a blast! It was especially fun to watch Nash and Jason imitating the horses! I got a good picture to embarrass Daniel in another ten years when he brings his girlfriend around. And, some great candid shots. I love to take a picture of someone when they don't know what I'm doing! I'm able to get the most natural expressions out of them. The worst part of the day was standing in the line for pony rides. (1 1/2 hours!), but was worth it to see how impressed Jason was! I had to rip him off of the saddle at the end!

I took this picture while Amber and I were standing in line with Nash for the hay ride. Either Nattie is telling a story to Grandma, or the other way around.

I really liked this picture of the kids with Nash. There was just so much to see and do, he didn't know where to start!

Kinsey looking at the Llama. She is just old enough now to pay attention to things and have fun looking at them.

The Llama kept nudging my hair, and I was worried that it would spit on me. Just after Mom took this picture, another llama spit on a kid around the corner! lol

There are quarter machines that have corn in them to feed to the animals. I gave some to Jason, and he started to eat it! This picture was taken just as I asked him what he had in his mouth!

Here's the one I'll get to embarrass Daniel with in the future! There is a little building that says "Dance Hall" on it, and all of the kids were kickin' up their heels! Daniel was really into his jig.

Here are Erica and Jason gittin' down!

Next to the "Dance Hall" is the "Jail". Jason didn't want to get out! I hope this isn't a revelation of things to come!

This is the team of horses that took us on a hay ride. Their names are Gypsy (on the left) and Hannah. Amber and I really got a kick out of Nash imitating them! He is a real character!

Here's Kinsey having a good ole time! She was so good, and Mom was an angel to come with and help me with her! Thanks, Mom!

Erica on the pony ride. She was looking back at Daniel, and I got this great expression out of her!

Jason just as the ride was over. He did not want to get off. I couldn't believe that he sat there as good as he did!

This was taken just as the calf took the corn from Jason's hand. The calf was so cute!

This is a miniature donkey. He is full size! Natty was the only kid that could pet him like that! There is a sign just above them that says, "Watch out, I bite"!

And here is Jason hanging on some chains. What a goof! And Nash is heading to put another handful of rocks into the horses' water!
