My Mum came to visit today so we took the kids out (apart from Jack who stayed home with Daddy). We let them choose. Georgie shouted "Animal Farm!" and Tom followed that with "Can we go to the one with the Boo Barn?!" - That was the Halloween event at Greenlands Farm Village! So off we went.We arrived in time for Tom & Georgie to get on the donkeys for another ride about. This time they went a different way round the farm this time too so that worked out brilliantly for them. Georgie loved getting to ride on George The Donkey again - it really tickles him that they share the same name!
Tom remembered his way round really well and lead the way so he could show Nana all the animals. He couldn't wait to show her the ducks! Then we watched the lads play in the hay barn while I fed Freddie. We took a look at the collie pups and watched as some escapee piglets got rounded up and put back in their pen with mummy pig - squealing piglets! What a noise! We made time for the petting zoo too, and one guinea pig seemed to want to climb into George's pocket and come home with us!
Tom was still chattering about the Boo Barn and I was trying to explain that Halloween was over now, we'd have to come back and see if they were doing anything for Christmas next month... when the door opened and the young lady who had been in the Boo Barn with them came out. She remembered us! And there WAS a new event... an "I'm a Celebrity" themed one! So in we went (but not Nana who is phobic about snakes!)
Inside were a row of tanks with hissing cockroaches, mealworms, snakes, "mystery items" and fake blood, all there for dipping your hands in if you dare! And at the end... the very last challenge.... EAT A MEALWORM! The lass handed out a tub of mealworms (dead ones!) and offered them to Tom & George, who both accepted and ate one! Tom pulled a face like you wouldn't believe - but it didn't come back out. Georgie took a second one!!!
They got a packet of chocolate button each for their bravery (or to take the taste away) and a great story to tell back at school & nursery on Monday!
