‘Round and ‘Round We Go

The boys’ last official off-track day just happened to coincide with the opening day of Cornbelly’s, so Kev took the day off and we headed out to the corn maze a bit earlier than usual. In past years, it has been chilly and wet. But it was sunny and warm. The corn had not been trampled down yet. We were wearing shorts. And when we arrived there were only about a dozen other cars in the parking lot. So all in all, a good time to go. We did get lost and ended up going around and around in Obama’s head (note to self-always look at the design for the corn maze before going in so we have some idea of what we are doing) but in spite of that we had a good time. The boys loved shooting pumpkins out of the air cannons (Malia not so much-the noise freaked her out) and the big slide. Matthew was a bit apprehensive at first, but after a couple of times down in someone’s lap, he was ready to brave it alone. We all agreed that it was a fun way to end the boys’ vacation.

Oh, What Do You Do in the Autumntime?

This morning we partook of the many fall festivities available at Cornbelly’s.  We went last year and got rained out so we didn’t get to spend as much time as we would have liked.  This year the weather was highly cooperative and not only did we have time to wander the corn maze, but we also saw pig races, played on a variety of wooden vehicles, slid down air slides, climbed on hay bales, saw a chicken show, shot pumpkin blasters (Air cannons are totally fun, by the way!) and Daniel and Nathan gave rock climbing a try.  We opted to skip the corn room (think a ball pit but full of dried corn kernels) which is just weird or the haunted stuff which is not our favorite thing.  It was a fun way to while away a few hours on a beautiful autumn morning!
