One of the kazillion reasons we love living in Orange County is all the fun places to go! Last week we got the chance to check out The Discovery Science Center’s (aka The Cube) Bug Invasion and The Pumpkin Factory. They have paired up to offer an awesome Trick or Treat Candy Quest.

I was a little flustered after arrival because someone was having an emotional day, someone was starving for a bottle and someone wanted to run around the Cube to check out all the awesome exhibits.

(I’ll let you guess which someone is which)

I was basically feeling like the worst mom in the world because Cora Jane had an accident (thankfully #1) and I didn’t have a change of clothes, Cy was screaming unless I stood up in one place swaying and Eli had probably been kidnapped because he had been roaming The Cube alone for at least half an hour. Then Dr Sue said I made mothering my 3 small kiddos look so easy. I wanted to kiss her! Anyway, she’s my new BFF!

Eli said the Bug Invasion Exhibit was “GREAT!” It actually sounds more like “GWATE!” It’s super cute!

See the “gwate” video all about it…

Hot Hubby met us at The Cube after he got off work and we took the short walk (like 3 minutes) over to The Pumpkin Factory.

The Pumpkin Factory has all sorts of rides, a petting zoo, and of course, loads of pumpkins!! GOOD PRICES TOO! Those big giant jumbo pumpkins for only $20. It’s a better deal than a grocery store and you are supporting a local business!!

 As the sun started setting it was the perfect weather for a Lid… even the pumpkins were chilly!

Because the folks at The Cube and the the folks at The Pumpkin Factory are so awesome they are letting me give away…

4 general admission tickets to the Discovery Science Center AND 4 unlimited ride wristbands at The Pumpkin Factory! (You know you want to win this because you are already taking your kiddos to a pumpkin patch anyway and then you won’t have to shell out any extra moo-la for rides!)
