Turkeyville

Turkeyville hosted a kids day last weekend. We never did make it out there last year so we decided this would be the perfect opportunity. We were sure they'd run the trains on a kids day so we were disappointed to find out that they weren't going that day. But we still had a lot of fun and we picked up a train schedule so we can make sure to go on the right day next time.

Kendall and Lynnsey participated in the three-legged race. They took second place! (Out of three pairs, so they didn't think it was all that great.)

But they got to pick out a prize for playing.

Kaya loved her pink balloon. And the purple one she got a few minutes later after she pulled the pink one off of her wrist and let it go.

Four of our kids participated in the water balloon toss. Taylor and Spencer won one of the rounds.

And then Kendall decided he wanted to do the pie eating contest. When they were announcing it, they called for all the kids who wanted to eat a chocolate pie to come on up. Kaya was over in another area and heard the word chocolate. "Chocolate!" she squealed and ran right up. So we decided to let her try it. It was the absolute cutest thing ever!

She waited at first and watched the other kids and what they were doing and then she put her hands behind her back and dug right in!

The funny thing is, that when she went to eat her birthday cake the other day, she ate it the same way with her hands behind her back.

The gift shop is always a big hit for the kids. But they hear "no" a lot. For example, when Lynnsey sweetly asked for this giant stuffed frog, the answer was a big "NO".

But they usually manage to convince us to buy candy and other treats, so it works out just fine.

Come visit us and we'll take you to Turkeyville!
