Everyone told us we needed to go to the blaze. We bought the tickets and thought it would be a great activity to bring the whole family to, plus my mother after she had spent the whole week watching the kids for us. Little did we know that Ben would be gone! His flight left early in the morning. It was a strange day, but we kept our plans and just went without using one of our tickets.
We were quite shocked at how much an adult ticket cost, as well as a child's price to enter this historical event.
Walking through there were pumpkins everywhere, carved in so many different ways and many different faces. We got there at dusk and were able to see an overall view of the area, which was nice. As it continued to grow darker and darker it became easier to lose the children while walking around the property. We had the boys hold hands with either me or grandma. Briel thought it was funny to run off at different times.
this was a huge spiderweb made out of pumpkins, and hundreds of pumpkin spiders all over the ground. It was pretty creepy!
The boys were starting to get tired near the end. I couldn't get them to stand up straight or smile for the camera.
I guess it's different when grandma is in the picture with you. Cael and Connor were more cooperative.
I don't think we were super impressed – with the cost and what we saw. I can see why it is a fundraiser, but I wish I had known that before we had purchased our tickets. To all the people who say "you must go to the blaze", I'd say to them don't waste your time... Both my mother and I agreed.
At least we had something to do for our family home evening night that Ben left
