Cornbelly's 10/18/08

Chloee's first trip to a corn maize. We took her to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point. We had so much fun. Troy's son Zack was up from California and joined the fun. She started out in the Pumpkin Princess playland. Took her picture in the carriage, she played in the tower, there were costumes to put on scarecrows, a princess bounce house, and the Pumpkin Princess would come out and read a story, then pose with the girls for pictures. Dad and Zack tried out some new hair options. She pumped water in the duck races, there was a cow to milk, horse style swings, crooked playhouses. They had a big "corn box", like a sand box but filled with corn kernals. Slides, trains, a country store to play in. There was a kiddie maze to walk through along with the bigger maze, lots of slides, food. We ate the pulled pork sandwiches. they were yummy. She had cotton candy, a PB&J sandwich.

Cornbelly's part 2

More at Cornbelly's: they had a tunnel of hay to walk through, a Chicken Show, destruction zone where you can shoot candy cannons, pumpkin slingshot. They had a museum and you could watch a movie of previous years and the corn maze designs. She went on the cow train ride, they had hay rides. There was a big structure made of hay that you climbed up and could choose many different slides to come down. There was a pumpkin tree full of neatly carved pumpkins. A large blow-up dragon that you walked through his body. It was very dark and as you went though different part of his body, they had different sounds, like a loud thump thump when you were in his heart. There was a man there making balloon animals. Chloee had him make her a pink poodle. There were 2 bounce pillows, pedal carts, you could mine for gemstones. The pumpkin princess offered horse drawn carriage rides. There was mechanical bull riding. Chloee wanted her face painted. She wanted spiderman, and so the artist painted a spiderman butterfly on her face. Oh the huge smile Chloess had when she was done painting her face. They had a huge rocking chair you could sit in for pics. Chloee tried putting her fingers in between the slats of the rocker and they got pinched. That was the end of our day. I liked Cornbelly's. There was so much outdoor stuff for kids to do. Chloee really liked the pumpkin princess and getting her face painted the best. A bag of cotton candy ended her day.

Hogle Zoo

Chloee's first trip to the zoo! She really enjoyed seeing all the animals. Of course, grandma had to spoil her at the gift shop. It was a fun day.

First time at the blog thing.
