Corn Maize

We spent 3 hours at the Corn Maize on Saturday.  We enjoyed BBQ lunch, looking at the water, seeing the animals, taking a hay ride, going through a kid maze, and going halfway through the corn maize.  It was a wonderful family day!!!!!

Jacen posing as a sheep :)

He loved the water and even wanted to get in :)

KID MAZE

He had a blast doing the Kid Maze.  He went back to it over and over.  We loved his facial expressions in these three pictures.  He seemed to be loving it in two and in deep concentration in the middle one.

IN THE CORN MAIZE

Jacen loved it at first.  He was just running and telling us where to go!!!  Then he got tired and wanted to be carried :(  We only went halfway through.  He definitely reminded us to enjoy our time the three of us today and not just worry about finishing the maize. 

He was very interested in the corn signs throughout the maize.

He kept wanting to go in the corn field not on the path.  He stood in this spot for a while drinking his water. 

This is a view from one of the bridges inside the maize.

THE HAY RIDE

The Pumpkin Patch that we stopped at during our Hay Ride.

Jacen enjoyed looking at the pumpkins and gourds.

He picked out a few pumpkins and then put them back.  He didn't want to take one with us.  Maybe we will make it to another pumpkin patch to buy some pumpkins.

We had a wonderful day as a family followed by a long long nap for Jacen!!!!

September Pics Part 2 - The Park, The Fair, and More!!!!!

Jacen is so fascinated by Patches' kennel.  He climbs in it whenever we don't get him in the car fast enough!! (No we do not put him there!!!!)

Last Friday Jacen and I spent the evening at the park.  He loved to slide which he usually won't do :)  I loved his facial expressions (sorry about the glare of the sun)

And dig :)

Enjoying his ice cream sandwich :)

We took another wagon ride last weekend.  All of our wagon rides now have to include a stop to pet the horses :)

THE FAIR

We went to the Fair last Sunday after church.  We ate fair food, pet the animals, and looked at the Wilson Middle School art!!!!

Jacen preferred talking to the goats over petting them.  He talks to animals including Patches like they know exactly what he is talking about and wonders why they don't mind :)

Thank you Granny B for the Veggie Tales movies!!!

Jacen enjoying chips and salsa at Hailey's 18th Birthday Dinner.  Happy Birthday Hailey!!!

Yesterday Jacen and I returned to the park for our evening together.  He wanted my sunglasses and to slide!!!  And Grandparent's he wants a bike and a football like some other kids had at the park last night :)

September Pics Part 1

It has been a busy few weeks, so I haven't had time to do a blog update.  So get ready for lots of pics!!!!

Jacen playing with Ethan at church.  They entertained themselves for 30 minutes at church before a Wednesday night service going in and out the auditorium doors :)

On our walks in the neighborhood there are these miniature horses.  Jacen wouldn't get anywhere near them for a while, but now he will pet them :)

Finally getting some down time to play with his toys!!!

Jacen giving Mommy "sugars" in the fort :)

LABOR DAY

We spent the day just the three of us.  We went to get donuts at Krispy Kreme.

Then we spent the rest of the morning at Science Spectrum.

JACEN'S FIRST DAY AT SUGAR N SPICE

We took pics dropping him off at the courtyard at church for extended care.  He had a great first few weeks.

Mom came in last weekend and we went to the Beth Moore conference.  It was wonderful!!!!  We enjoyed the experience with the praise team and the wonderful message.

Jacen got to spend the morning at church where Daddy was doing the technology for a Girl Scout conference.  He entertained himself very well watching movies on the computer and playing with his toys.

Wagon ride with Grandma before she went home.  He loved it!!!!

When we got to the horses, one of the owners was there and let Jacen get in the pen with the horses.  He wasn't sure what to think about that.  But the whole way back to the house, he wanted to get back in with the horses!!!

An unplanned sprinkler time.  He loved it!!!!

He figured out that he could pick up the sprinkler and control where the water went :)

Daddy and Jacen watching Toy Story :)
