The Corn Maze Birthday Party

Since Daniel's birthday happens to fall around Fall time we try to take the kids to a corn maze for some fun every year. We went Saturday to Cornbelly's and had a pretty good time. We did the corn maze and all the other activities, grabbed some dinner then went back to G&G T's house for cake and presents. Here are some of the pictures: Here is a picture of Daniel's cake that I made. I was a little disheartened when Josh told me it looked like a ghost. Sometimes kids can be brutally honest. If you really can't tell what it is--it is a karate guy doing a cool kick with a yellow belt on. Daniel got some Transformers stuff and was pretty excited. Before we left for the corn maze I had done Sarah's hair, but was worried that the parts in her head would get sunburned. I sprayed sunscreen in the parts, but it disintegrated the elastics so she ended up looking like she stuck her finger in a light socket and of course I didn't bring any spare elastics so I could redo her hair. They had some duck races, but we were with some pretty competitive people so the kids' didn't get to play too much with them. About half way through our visit Josh and Matthew found a huge corn kernel pile you could play in. They played and gathered as much dust as they could spreading it all over their faces, cloths and shoes. When we finally made it home they also had pockets full of dried corn kernels. Daniel and Sarah fell asleep while we trying to figure out the maze. I guess you can get too tired when you are CARRIED everywhere!! While we were in the corn maze we even had a cheat sheet and we still got lost--How do you like that? The corn was pretty tall. You couldn't see over the tops of it unless you were on the bridge. They had some tractor races, but those didn't go over so well. The kids rode the tractors about half way down the track until they gave up, got out and just left them in the middle of the track. I am sure everyone appreciated that. They had a tractor train that we rode. The kids all wanted to ride with G&G T so Aaron and I had a car to ourselves and of course Sarah. Grandma even got in on some of the action when the boys pleaded with her to go down the slides with them. There is a huge air pad you can jump on. Since Daniel is so little he got thrown around and didn't like it too much.
We had a pretty exhausting, but fun day. Until next year...
