Good ol' Time at Cornbelly's

Last week we had our cousins come into town to stay with us and we had a GREAT time! One of the things we did was go to Cornbelly's Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point. The actual adult corn maze is 13 acres (if I remember right) and takes 45 minutes to 2 hours to get through. The 'kiddie corn maze' was about .003 of an acre and took approximately 5 minutes to get through....that was more our style. It had rained the previous weekend and so the mud was pretty nasty. Pushing the double stroller through the maze would have been impossible, so we opted for Mark to stay with the babies, while I ventured the small corn maze with the kids.

They also had other things there, as you'll see by the pictures. It gave us 'city-folk' a little taste of 'farm country'. In fact, the kids mentioned that Grandpa could have done all this at his house. So, Grandpa Larry, if you're looking for your next business venture, I think we've found it. You'd just have to start planting corn in that 30 acres!


















There was some pretty tough competition on the race track that day!

And nothing like a good sucker to finish the day off right!

Doggie Ears - Ooohh the little joys in life!

On Wednesday's Sophie attends a class at the public library. A librarian reads them books and they sing songs and make a craft of somekind. Sophie really has a great time. Today they sang that song, 'Do your ears hang low, do they whobble too and frow,...etc' and made 'doggie ears' to take home. Right after dinner, Sophie decided that she wanted to make doggie ears for Carson and Bella and asked for my help. They had such a good time and all looked so cute, that I had to take a few pictures. We then had to make doggie ears for Dad too. They are ready and waiting for him too! I'm sure he'll be excited to wear them!

Crazy Sleeper

At the end of each night, Mark and I go and check on the kids just to make sure they are snug as a bug and safely tucked into bed. Occasionally we find Sophie upside down with her feet on her pillow, or other random sleeping positions. Tonight we found this....head hanging off the side, sound asleep. So, of course we had to get our camera and take a picture.
