Fun on the Farm!!

What a great day we had out at The Jungle Farm on Tuesday!  The weather was perfect and the kids had a ton of fun spending the morning on the farm!

We started off the day playing on some of the farm's unique wooden play structures - the kids had a great time pretending to sail the 7 seas & go on an adventure by rail!  There was also a tricycle track for racing with each other.  The farm cats even came out for a visit!

We were then taken by hay ride to the 'other side' where there was a world of fun to explore!

 
A corn maze (some of the moms spent quite a bit of time in there!), a hay bale maze, a ball pit, jumping balls, farm animals and more play structures!  Cheryl from C.L. Photography was set up here to take some great fall themed pictures of our little ones - she did a wonderful job, and was so quick that the kids didn't even have time to complain about being pulled away from the fun for picture time!  We can't wait to see the finished product!

We enjoyed a picnic lunch in the sun, just on time to be picked back up by Leona and her big red tractor and taken out to the Pumpkin Patch to pick our very own mini pumpkins to take home with us!

What a treat to pick our own pumpkins right off of the vine!  My little one was quite intrigued by these little round gourds!

We had a great day on the farm & look forward to returning next year!  If you're looking for a great place for family fun this fall - The Jungle Farm definitely fits the bill!  They're open until Thanksgiving on the weekends.

This is just one of the many fun things we've been up to lately at momstown Central Alberta!  Don't miss out on any of the things to come!  Join us now for a 2 week free trial membership.

A Trip to the Farm

We took a trip to the farm this week at Sunnybrook Farm Museum in Red Deer.  Despite the rain, we had a great time checking out the farm and learning all about the machinery and the animals.  We started off by milking a cow.

Spent some time with the animals

Played on the big old tractors while we hid from the rain

 

 And went for a wagon ride

 

It was a great day at the farm!  Join us later this month when we hit the Pumpkin Patch at The Jungle Farm for a day of fun and great pictures of the kids courtesy of CL Photography.

In The Jungle

momstown Central Alberta journeyed into the jungle by horseback on Thursday for our monthly theme party at Heritage Ranch.  The highlight of the morning was, of course, the pony rides!

Even the littles had a turn!

After the fun on horseback, we returned to the chalet - where we had some craft time & play time.  Followed by some lunch!

Join us for our next theme party by signing up for a free trial membership!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

momstown Central Alberta got rained out for July's edition of Picasso's In The Park last week - but rather than sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves, we decided to take the opportunity to check out the brand spankin' new Cabin Fever Fun Centre in Sylvan Lake. The kids had a ton of fun running, climbing, sliding, playing & pretending the morning away!

And the mamas got some much welcomed time to sit and relax in the big comfy chairs provided - all within view of the entire playing area!

One of the greatest things about Cabin Fever is that its not just a big jungle gym - there is an area for the littlest ones to play, separated from where the big kids run, climb and jump.  There are also tons of other activities for the older ones - including a puppet theater & dress up costumes - to stimulate those little imaginations!

Cabin Fever Fun Centre is certainly not just a one trick pony - and this mama is looking forward to many mornings to come of watching my kids run, jump and play while I sit back and sip a coffee!  Ahhh - what more could a mama ask for?  Did I mention they also offer tons of options for lunch or a snack?  Real food, with not a deep fryer in sight!  The cherry on top!

Make sure you sign up for a trial membership to momstown if you haven't already, so that you'll know when to next join us for this and many other fun adventures!

A bounty of great summer fun!

momstown Central Alberta took over Kin Canyon in Red Deer yesterday for our Pirates & Princesses Picnic.  The sun came out just as we were setting up, and it was a beautiful day!

We started out with a treasure hunt.

and enjoyed some amazing treats from Cuppitycakes Cupcakery!  The creations were amazing, and almost to pretty to eat!

 Almost...

Congratulations to Niki - the winner of 2 dozen cupcakes from Cuppitycakes Cupcakery!!  Yum!

The kids played in the playground while the moms chatted with each other, chased toddlers & relaxed on the picnic blankets in the sun!

Another great day in the sun with momstown!  Summer has barely just begun - there's tons of fun left to come!  If you're not already a member, join us for a free trial membership by registering online.
