Today 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.

I went to an antique shop on Saturday. I hardly go that faaaaar side of town but it was nice getting out of the house. I went for Allison's birthday and Teresa met us there. There a ton of stuff but not sure why someone would want to sell their old family photos. I'm assuming most of the items are from people cleaning out the homes of relatives that have passed on. Even though they are vintage, it doesn't sit right with me buying grandma's wedding photos from 1902. There was a lot of cool looking old furniture, sewing patterns and trinkets I wish I had a use for.



Near the front of the store




A music box that was clearly broken. The wind underneath was crooked and couldn't be moved. Smh.




My favorite figure of the Pilsbury Doughboy stuffing his fatass with brownies of the month.


a goodie for the month of September


And a frightening looking smile. Her name might be Susan lmao

There was one vase that was very pretty. It was light pink and had flowers on it. Probably made out of glass too. I would of liked to have it but knowing my house, it would be broken. We can't have nice things here. The shopping trip started off nice but after the first hour my head started to hurt really bad which ruins everything and my back and legs started to stiff up really bad. After a couple hours, we all parted ways and I headed home to lie down to nurse my stupid headache.



For Sunday, we just went to the park for a little while then I had to give in and put air in my tires. I'm glad I had to force myself to do this because I had no clue how to check the PSI on my tire. And doing this I found out the air cap was missing in my front tire. I'm sure by the end of the month I'll need to replace all my tires because they look like the tracking is gone. It really is exhausting being an adult. I talked to Tai for a couple of hours and heard him vent. Needless to say hearing him rejoice that the bigot died on Friday had me cracking up. Normally I wouldn't joke or laugh about it but after getting on the late train on what had been happening in the last few years....yeah no sympathy from me either. I wish him and his family well, in hell hahahaha

Well, maybe a little. Went to Joann Fabrics for possibly the very last time since it's closing soon. Found a little and some thread but most of the fabric I'd even consider was already sold. Took the daughter to the zoo while it was still sunny out. A lot of construction going on the front of the zoo, so we had to go out of the way to walk through the other areas. The penguin area was completed cause the last time we went a couple years ago, it was halfway done. There was a section where a whole group of penguins where standing and waddling around lol. The zoo employee was answering questions and child asked about the statue in the area with the name 'Steve' was one of them. He told them the statue was purchased by a patron through bidding and the winner was allowed to name the statue and bring a copy home. For the low low price of $1,000 lol. I told him "maybe next pay period" haha. We stayed over and hour and some then it started to rain. Wasn't bad of a day at all. It's supposed to rain tomorrow but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Mother's Day is next Sunday and I requested if we could go back to Great Wolf Lodge since its been over a year that we last went. I want to get my hair braided so I can swim without worrying about it. Anyways, that's all. Better than staying home being bored.
