Pleasant Valley Farms Winter Squash and Pumpkin Festival~Sand Springs, OK

Leave a comment

Pumpkin patches are such a fun cheap way to entertain kids!

I do not remember this being a thing when I was a kid.

Of course a trip to the pumpkin patch meant my mom’s garden…

This is our third year going to theĀ Pleasant Valley Farms Winter Squash and Pumpkin Festival in Sand Springs and I still like it. It is a quiet out in the middle of the country kind of place and the drive alone is worth it. We don’t really do a bunch of things that cost money at these places.

But there is always something fun to do for free.

This place always has fun games for the kids to play. Rubber duck races. Corn bin. Bull riding/bouncing? Watching someone chuck a pumpkin. This one even has a small maze that is free.

They have animals also which is always fun for my poor non farm kids šŸ˜‰

Are you a pumpkin patch fan?

This is a fun event, you should check it out next year or check out their pumpkin patch this year!

Porter Peach Festival 2019 ~Porter, OK

Leave a comment

The Porter Peach Festival has gotten a lot busier than when we first started going! We always make sure to stop by Livesay Orchards to get some peaches before going to the festival! There are booths and some carnival rides and food. It is always crazy hot!!! Nick helped kids cool off… These hats seemed like a fun idea but they were so light that mostly we just added the crazy chaos of kids chasing hats to the already difficult task of keeping track of 6 kids at a busy event.

Ha I feel like having a giant table of funnel cake was not playing fair…

And yes, we did get some.

Mostly the kids were just excited about the parade. It is small but they throw candy and that makes it an awesome parade in my kids book.

Do you go to local festivals?

I like to look up events beforehand and try to go for a specific event!

We have seen Frog and turtle races, wiener dog races, bloodhound trials, gunfights and more!
