We took the boys to the Bluebell corn maze. Well, local meaning we only had to drive for about 40 minutes :) to get there. We weren't sure if we wre going to go since it's been raining the last two days here. Luckily, Saturday turned out to be a nice day.
It is a miniature version of the one at Thanksgiving Point. Elliot loved the cow train (aka a few make shift wagons made out of empty barrels attached to the 4-wheeler).

We tried to get him to smile for the camera but no such luck! Must be the Russian half in him coming out :))) He had the most serious face every time he rode it.
Then there was a pvc slide :) Yeah, very interesting! Elliot went on it at least a hundred times. I guess he liked it.

They also had a few really cute baby goats that we got to feed.

And of course, it wouldn't be a corn maze without a corn maze, right. Well, I have to say that it was not such a good idea to go through it with the kiddos! First of all, we didn't grab a map. And then Elliot got tired just after 15 minutes of us wandering in it. Then he had to go potty :))) So we just took a shortcut and got outta there.
They also had a sandbox with all sorts of john deere toys (not that we would expect it any different) and a big barn filled with corn for kiddos to play in as a sandbox. I think Elliot liked it the best.
And of course we went to the real pumpkin patch to pick out our own pumpkins for home decor (hoping to make pumpkin pies later too) Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures there since Liam fell asleep, and Elliot was too fast picking out his pumpkin that he was back on the wagon before anyone else. And we all were quite tired by then too. I found this cute little one, white with orange stripes. Justin was a little hesitant to pick it at first , "don't they want it to grow bigger" he said. It made me laugh since the actual plants were all dead and bone dry. (the last 2 weeks the temperature here dropped below freezing already). Now you know who does the gardening in our family :)))
Well, one thing is great about entertainment here in Uintah Basin is that concessions are very inexpensive. So, we ate lunch there, and also got a bag of kettle corn for the ride home. Can I say it was the best kettle corn I've ever had!!!
P.S. Our little Liam started sorta crawling this last week too!!!He's been getting around by army crawl and rolling before that. Now he gets up on his hands and knees and dives into stuff :)
