Haunted Dinosaur Park

Back in July I got some free tickets to the Dinosaur Park from my dr's office. I had taken my girls to their appointment, but come to find out they had scheduled me for the wrong day. They felt horrible and so as an apology they offered me 4 passes. I thought it would be fun to go during October when they have their Halloween activities going on. We invited our neighbors, the Lawson's, along with us hoping it would be a fun night out for a decent price. $60 for a pumpkin patch is too much money for only 2 hours. When you have 4 kids nothing is cheap. :)

They advertised trick or treating, games, bounce house, costume contest and other fun activities. However, it was a little disappointing. For one they wouldn't accept my free passes because they were the "old" logo and they switched 3 years ago. Second, they just had a bunch of vendors there like Winder Dairy, Pampered Chef, Comcast, Scentsy, Applebees etc. advertising with a bucket of candy for the kids. Third, they only had 1 game and no bounce house. As we headed up the path a guy in black was standing there with a bucket. We were about to walk right by him when I finally asked him if he was handing out candy. The costume contest was very unorganized and nobody seemed to know what they were doing. In my opinion (and Ken's) it wasn't worth the money we paid to get in. BUT, the kids seemed to have fun with their friends and that's all that mattered.
