Durbin's Pumpkin Party

Last week we went and checked out a new(er) restaurant/bar in Plainfield called Durbin's. It was pretty good. They had a big menu and were kid friendly. They also have a nice indoor/outdoor beer garden that would be nice to check out if it was just me and Rob or with friends. While we were there they handed out flyers advertising their First Annual Pumpkin Painting Party for kids on October 13th. They were going to have pumpkin painting, games, face painter, balloon maker, magician and more. It sounded like fun so we decided we were going to pencil it in our calendar and take the kids.

This morning when we woke up, it looked like it was going to be a cruddy day. Sure enough the rain started around 10:00. We weren't sure if the festivities at Durbin's were going to be inside or outside, but we decided we were still going to check it out anyways. We were planning to have lunch there anyways. We invited my dad to come along. My dad came over around noon and we were on our way. Luckily once we pulled up, we could see everything was going to be inside. The bad news was that it was completely unorganized. It was their first year doing it, so I will give them some credit. They didn't have anyone providing direction on what we should do so it was a little chaotic. There were lots of kids there. Overall, Leah had fun. She decorated a pumpkin and had a balloon hat made. We had pizza for lunch (which was really good). Mason slept almost the whole time. It was nice to go do something Halloween-ish!
