A Disappointing Saturday

graffiti_marinaToday we went to Smith farm since we usually visit around October every year since they would have cool stuff. The last few years we've gone, they've had a candy cannon they'd shoot I'd say every 30 minutes or so. There were petting zoos and horse rides, hayrides, plenty of places and space for the kids to jump around, lots of food and drink vendors, the farm itself that sells produce, free drinks and live music. It's always been enjoyable. And this year none of that was happening. They closed off the main part of the farm and limited it to only bouncy castles that you had to pay for. That's it. They still gave out free drinks but no live music, no hayrides, no petting zoo, nothing. I felt like the moment we walked in and found that out we ended up leaving right after. Also didn't help that the wind was blowing like crazy.
We haven't had much luck with farms this month as the other farm we went to in the past was completely DEAD. There were barely any people there and a whole lot of empty space. Went on the hayride and went in a giant circle with nothing to look at. One food vendor that had nasty donuts. Really needed to make it clear not to bother going back after this time. What a waste of money. Went to the trunk or treat at the HS and that wasn't too bad but the kids were already bored so we left after walking around a little bit.
Alright, we'll be trying our luck next weekend going to Denver and seeing what Halloween events they got going on. Probably a lot more eventful than what's here.
