Mind Swimming: Kasper's Kastle 2009

Yesterday we finally made it to Kasper's Kastle at Serenity Farms. We were supposed to go last weekend, but the rain was insane and it was so muddy that they closed down the whole weekend. I was pretty upset since this coming weekend it was supposed to rain yet again on Saturday, and Sunday I'm to go out of town for APA tri-annuals in Laurel. So, I called them up and asked if they had any groups coming to the farm during the week and if we could jump on with them. The answer was yes...yay! So me & Isaiah, along with some friends, made it up there. It was a gorgeous day out!!

First we hopped up on the tractor trailer for a hayride down to the petting farm. Isaiah was hesitant at first, but once he got to the sheep it was all over. He loved them! The small donkey was ok, but the big ones & the llama he wanted nothing to do with - LOL.

Oh, and there was THE ugliest pig i've ever seen...poor thing. :( Once we finished up there we hopped back on the hayride and they took us over to Kasper's Kastle where Dora and Blue were waiting for us. Mind you, Isaiah's been waiting to see Dora this whole time. I even had to tell him she was sick the previous weekend since he was so upset we didn't get to go.

However...once he got up close and personal with her...he wanted nothing to do with her. It was so funny because this is the 3rd year we've gone. The first year we went he was 18 months old and scared of all the characters. The second year he was 2.5 and he LOVED them. Now he's 3.5 and well...I think he was figuring out that they were just people dressed up.

Both him and his friend Makenna acted the same way all three years and she's just 6 months older than him. It was interesting to say the least! We then made our way through the Kastle and through the hay maze and finally to the pumpkin patch. Sadly, my camera informed me that my battery was "exhausted" during the hay maze, so I didn't get any pics of him in the pumpkin patch :( Makenna's momma got some however, now I'm just waiting on her to post them. It was a great time as always :)

LOL - love this goats eyes!
