| Peanuts - The Great Pumpkin Patch Express |
|
After leaving the campground, we took a ride on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. They had a special event because it was October called "Peanuts - The Great Pumpkin Patch Express".
We took a 30 minute ride to the "Pumpkin Patch" where they had all kinds of things for the kids including roasting marshmellows, hayride, trick or treating, bobbing for apples, pick your own pumpkin, bounce houses, and coloring and tatoo station.
The bobbing for apples was interesting because at no time did the kid touch the water, instead, it was a PVC pipe they raised and lowered to try to catch an apple with. The trick or treating was also cool. You walk into a big tent and there are four cutouts of a house (picket fence and door) that the kid is supposed to walk up to, knock on the door, and say trick or treat for some candy.
I really thought Justin would enjoy the bounce houses and slides, but when we first arrived at the pumpkin patch he didn't really want to do anything. The first thing he saw he wanted to do was...get this...play Checkers. Checkers! He later warmed up and we couldn't get him away from the activities. We had a great time on the train and at the pumpkin patch!
