Blue Bell Corn Maze

We did this last year, and I think it's turing into a nice Family Tradition. Our family along with the families of Mosiah, Enoch, Norah Gunderson, and Billy Gunderson all went to the small town of Blue Bell (about 45 min away) to this awesome Corn Maze. They also have a potato gun, hay ride to a pumpkin patch, goats, kids maze, food, and yummy kettle corn. It makes for an awesome day.

We started out with the maze first. There are two routes you can choose from. When you get your wrist band, you get a paper with multiple choice questions in it. When you get to the number in the maze, (a small wooden sign with a number carved and painted on it) you answer the question and it tells you to go left or right. It's actually super fun and the kids love it.

Lili and Daddy leading the way.


I carried MaryAlice in our backpack carrier. She was a trooper. Didn't utter a sound.


Here's what those "number cross-roads" look like.

At one point in the maze, you could climb up a bridge and see the maze from above.

Me carrying my baby. Oh, and here's my new dark hair. Trying to go back to my natural color.

I like this picture. . . can't you just hear him, "C'mon dear - more pictures??"

We tried to get a nice family picture. . . but we all know how that always turns out.

Lili and Alma feeding the goats

Lili just couldn't get enough of the goats. She was the first one there, and the last one to leave - bumming the last of the quarters off Daddy to feed the goats. She truly is my animal lover.

Then we went on to get the pumpkins

Most of our crew hunting the grounds for the perfect pumpkin.

Of course, MaryAlice found a nasty moldy gourd and didn't want to trade it for anything. I tried to get her to take a nice "baby" pumpkin, but you can't argue with an 18 month old! She wanted THAT nasty pumpkin. . . oh, well!

And that was our fun trip. I wanted to post more pictures, but it takes too long. If you want to see all the pictures, go to my facebook albums. It's easier to upload mass photos there. Anyway, thanks for dropping by!

Your pics are so cute! The swollen hand is insane. That would scare the crap out of me. I hope he doesn't have worse reactions and heaven forbid he ever gets stung somewhere vital!
