Corn Maze

Last Sunday afternoon our Sunday school class went to the Corn Maze. It is a field they plant corn in and then cut out a maze you walk through. This year the maze is the shape of Raider Red. Cecil, Keagan, and I didn't go through the maze because we weren't able to stay very long because of other plans. They had other things to do there that I knew Keagan would enjoy much more. When I taught first grade we took our kids and walked the the maze and I always left with a headache. The corn would bother my allergies so I was not too sad we didn't do the maze.

I couldn't get him to look at me because of the sun.

Walking throught the mini maze of hay bales.

This was Hannah the pig. She weighs 450 pounds. Keagan liked her tail. They also had some goats, sheep, a donkey, and chickens.

rode again with Wyatt, Kegan and Cecil-who almost did not get out!

Wyatt's cousin (I can't remember his name) is the goat, Wyatt, Madi, Lilly, and Keagan as the pig

going to find his pumpkin

Keagan kept wanting to pick the pumpkins that were still on the vine. We kept telling him those were not ready to be picked. There were some that were still green and he said he wanted to get one of those "watermelons"!

He picked a "baby" pumpkin for him and the baby, mine was still pretty green and then the bigger one was Cecil's.

They also had a corn cannon you could shoot ears of corn at hay bales that had the Big 12 teams on them. Keagan and Cecil wanted to do that but the line was too long and we had to leave to get to Cecil's parents house. Cecil really wanted to hit the Longhorn and OU bales. We were really surprised the OU bale had more corn around it than the UT bale. I think it was because the UT bale was farther away. We all had a really good time and hopefully we can go back next year when we have a little more time.

Chuck E. Cheese and baby update

Last week we went to Chuck E. Cheese for our nephew's birthday party. Bryce turned 4. I guess Cecil and I are bad parents because we had never taken Keagan to Chuck E. Cheese. He has been to Mr. Gatti's though. He had a lot of fun playing the games and riding the rides.

This monster truck was his favorite thing in the whole place.

I thought Keagan would love to crawl through the maze and go down the slide but he wouldn't go through the maze. I finally got him to go down the slide.

He thought it was funny to make the jet ski crash.

He did really well at this game.

He didn't do so well at this!

He enjoyed riding the rides more than playing the games. I lost track of how many times he rode this and the monster truck.

Baby Update:

I went to the doctor yesterday. He said the baby was growing really well. "It" was moving all over the place. I go back on Nov. 16th and he said hopefully he will be able to tell us what it is then. I also talked to him about getting the H1N1 shot. I am not convinced they have had enough time to do enough research to make sure it is safe. He told me not to worry about it right now because they don't have any of the shots yet and are not sure when they will get them. He said since I am a teacher I have already been exposed to it and the best way to prevent it is washing hands, eating right, and getting plenty of rest. I am trying to be really careful around my kids at school. So far I have only had one child with the flu. I am constantly washing my hands and wiping down my tables. Hopefully I can stay healthy.
