It has been a busy, fun filled weekend so far! We came home for Thanksgiving and have been spending time with family. We started off at Nana's house and enjoyed our time there, opening presents, playing with the dog, watching movies, and hanging out. It's been fun to play there and special for the kids to have Nana put them into their jammies. Today we all went to the corn maze for the afternoon. Camilla had a blast!
We started by checking out the slide and games before we went to the mazes. They had a pretty sweet set up! The last time Mr. Stannix and I went to this corn maze we were just married a few months and went with friends. They have made so many improvements since we were there last! They had a bunch of slides for the kids, pony rides, go cart races, face painting, rubber duck races, pits for roasting, picnic tables, and a pumpkin gun (which they shot at an old bus).
You could also buy pumpkins, fresh from the field! My sister snapped some pictures of the kiddos on her fancy camera. I love this time of the year!
We roasted hot dogs and smokies over a fire for lunch, and then Camilla ran around and Grampa walked around with Hyrum. With the kiddos all being occupied, I had some time to snuggle up to Mr. Stannix on the hay bails.
They had these goats that you could feed on the sky walk. It was pretty neat to watch!
Soon after we made our way into the mazes. Camilla loved it and was constantly telling Auntie Emma to hurry up (because she was taking pictures) so she wouldn't get lost.
Then Camilla started hiding and jumping out to scare people as they went by her. She made some guys laugh pretty hard with her cute little ROAR. Mr. Stannix found a stalk of corn on the ground and started practising his ninja skills, and almost took out a random person who he didn't realize was behind him.
I had fun carrying my little man around for the day. He's so easy going and ejoyed being outside.
Finally we made it to one of the three lookout towers and climbed the steep steps to check out where the end of the maze was. What a beautiful sight! I was so impressed with the blue sky, sunlight and corn. It was amazing!
After we made it down from the towers, Camilla had a mid-maze-meltdown which started on the ground, getting dirty hands and smudging her tears all over her face. Who needs a $12.00 butterfly painted on your face when wet mud will give you the same effect?
Thank-you Auntie Emma for being the unofficial photographer for the day! We love your pictures as always!
It didn't feel like we were lost for too long before we found our way out!
It was fun for me to spend time with my sister for the afternoon. She is one talented photographer! Most of these pictures are hers (shh don't tell).
Mr. Stannix also got to spend some valuable time with his little sister who spent the day with us.
Until Next Year...
