Cornbelly's!

This past Saturday we took the girls to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and was a lot warmer than we expected! We started off with the cornmaze. We wound our way in a good ways and then tried to back track our way out. It usually takes us a LONG time to do these mazes and we didn't think the girls could make it all the way if we tried to do the "real" maze. I felt we were successful though! We got ourselves pretty lost and managed to find our way back out so that counts right? :)

At the beginning of the outing both girls were so happy and excited to be there!


eventually Merrilee had to get out and help push the stroller!
Merrilee had fun playing with the corn she found in the maze!

After the maze Merrilee loved playing in the corn pit while mommy fed Alice


After Alice was fed, we let Merrilee play on a big spider web and a hay tower/pit!


Then Daddy took Merrilee through the Snake maze for kids. Merrilee Loved it! Ben had to bend over and duck his head the whole time.
After the snake maze it was time for the Train ride through the non-maze corn fields. We did this a couple years ago at night and they had these creepy scarecrows and pumpkins and goblin scenes that were pretty freaky at night, but this time we saw them during the day and they were pretty silly and fun!

This is the best we could do for a family photo while we were there
After the train ride, we let Merrilee play with the duck races, watch the robotic farm animals sing and dance, get a snow cone, play on tractors, go down many slides throughout the park and see the pumpkin princess!




Alice had fun too, although I think next year she will be able to enjoy it a little more! She spent most of the time observing all the commotion like this...
But we did manage to get a cute picture of her in a little hay/pumpkin display! We tried to get both the girls together, but that failed miserably.
We were going to get pumpkins there, but they were crazy expensive, so we might go to a real pumpkin patch in the near future to get our pumpkins. If not, I guess Winco pumpkins will have to do! :)

What a fun place! It's funny... it looks kind of like where we went! I love that they have so much fun things for kids to do. Love that Merrilee was so happy and smiley! And sweet Alice is growing so big! And look at those big smiles too! Miss you guys :)
