The Old West Harvest Fest

We discovered the Old West Harvest Fest this year. Its in the Coleman area and its wonderful! We went on the opening day and it was a beautiful sunny day and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. There is so many fun things to do here. My mom joined us and we all had a great great time!
There is a petting zoo there and all the barns look like old west building.....so cute!



There is something about anything in miniature that makes you love it! Horses are no exception.





I don't really know why, but this is funny!







This Kid holding the bunny is a son of the owners and he was such a great kid! He was so awesome and patient with the boys!









There are few things in life that are cuter than baby goats.











The boys had fun checking out this Tepee with Grandma Tina






















I will spare you any ass jokes but I am holding back several of them.










Good to know!



















The hay wagon. We took a ride and went through a corn maze. The boys had so much fun playing hide and seek with grandma in the maze.







You could put some food down these tubes to feed the animals. the boys really enjoyed this.










This was one was looking for seconds.





















They also have gold panning here. I love! The boys thought this was so cool. They panned for gold and then they got to take the gold they collected to the general store and trade it for candy and toys.




























pretty good haul for his first panning experience.




























Micah didn't get quite as much gold as Max but there gold some how weighed the same at the general store. These people and fun and smart!





































The big weigh in was so suspenseful!

































Micah was apparently not that thrilled about his findings.






























He was much better when he saw the treats and toys his gold bought.






























Next was cattle roping. Micah got this confused with cattle riding lol.






















This same kid spent at least 20 min with Max teaching him to cattle rope.





















Max did pretty well!


























I made them take a picture with me. Man I'm so mean.

































This is the closest I could get them in sitting next to each other for a pic. What are you gonna do?




























Hay Wagon ride time.















Next we made candles. The boys have about 30 seconds of focus time so our candles didn't end up very big but it was fun regardless.





grandma helped Micah.
















Its just funny.






















We ended our trip with a covered wagon ride. Well, the boys weren't in a covered wagon but you get it.



























completely exhausted after all that fun.
