Red Barn 2014

It's October! That means time to visit the Red Barn to get our pumpkins and some fresh apples and apple cider! (Last year's visit and links to previous years, here.)
Sebby's eyes are so pretty with the sunlight on them!
Marigold thought all the pumpkins were drums to pound on.
The girls found these cute tiny pumpkins, but then, when they set them down (far from the pumpkin patch, and clearly delineated as "someone's pumpkins," we thought), someone else took them! So they had to rush back and find other, less perfect, ones before we left. Sad. :(
Marigold had a grand time, thanks to her doting siblings. They loved taking her around and helping her do everything: slides, tractor rides, apple-crate maze.
The girls loved this miniature Red Barn!
Santaquin Gothic.
There was such a pretty sunset!
It was a beautiful evening at the pumpkin patch!

Cornbelly's Corn Maze

Sebby's choir sang at the Cornbelly's corn maze at Thanksgiving Point, so afterwards we got to do some of the activities. (Junie and Marigold stayed home with Sam.) We had a great time!

The jumping pillows were really fun (this bunny especially liked them)

Tractors
Our favorite things were two big areas full of corn kernels---like a sandbox, but with corn! It was so fun to play in. The kids liked burying themselves and digging in the corn. And it was easy to shake it off afterwards!
Abe was the corn banker. He kept all these containers full of corn for people to come and buy from him.
Corn shower!
The boys were really good at navigating the maze---we actually got through it and out the other side! It was fun to wander through the tall rows of corn.
We liked hunting for ears of corn on the ground!

Beautiful sky. It was such a fun afternoon!
