Our CornBelly Adventure - venture - venture...

Do you like the echo? Haha! This October we were lucky enough to get season passes for Cornbelly's, the world-famous fall festival and celebration of corn!


Just look at the smiles in these photos. (Ike is the one doing the belly-flop)


These bouncies are our favorite. I can only stand a few minutes of bouncing now-a-days (I'm too old I guess)


But that's okay because Ava doesn't like the bouncies either. She prefers to sit like a "lady" on the hay bails. :D

Don and his momma. (so much hay!)

Ava and her grandpa (so much corn!)


Here's the fam-damly on a hay ride.

-----------------------------------------

When it got cold we snuggled in blankets, sat by the fire pit, and/or ate chili or soup. (mmmm!)


When our feet got tired we sat in the magical pumpkin coach.


When we broke the rules we went to the stocks.


When we got scared we called in Grandpa Jack, the Dragon Tamer!



-------------------------------------------

We couldn't convince Aunt Holly or Miley to go in the Monster Maze, so they kept each other company (a safe distance away from the beast!)




Here we are in a scene from the Wizard of Oz.
...and Ava is Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.


---------------------------------------

Donny rode the bull. He was the only one brave/crazy enough! (apparently he's done this with a live bull?!)
Go, Don! Yay, Dad!
Okay, that's long enough.
Good landing. Bravo!


My lil' punkin in a patch of pumpkins.

We would love Cornbelly's to be our family tradition, but sadly, we have plans to leave Utah next summer. :(

But the beautiful thing about family traditions is that you can make them up as you go along!

Looks like so much fun! Where are you moving next summer?! We can't convince you to come back to Carson can we?

Haha! We would love to come back to Carson, but it is looking more like Ohio. :)

These must be your kids? So how many girls do you have? Any boys? Funny stories! I love your personality!

Hey Mary Ann! I'm glad to see you visiting my blog! :)
I have 3 kids. A girl, a boy, then another girl. They are the most darling things. I sometimes sit and stare at them for entire episodes of SpongeBob. Haha!
