Pumpkins, corn, but no BBQ

We went to Cornbelly's this week. We supported this Agri-Business by using 2 for 1 coupons and leaving the David Archuleta corn maze for everyone else to enjoy. Instead, Max climbed in the little houses and jumped on the bouncy-thingy until his little heart was content.
Ben couldn't get enough of the hay bales and a mirror by them.

We also squeezed into some cow cars pulled by a tractor. We were pulled around a pumpkin patch and corn field. The tractor's driver was a teenager wearing an ipod. It just seemed funny to me.

Ben couldn't believe it when we started moving. "Dah! DaaAAHHH!" He kept saying as he kicked and squealed. When he gets excited his voice gets lower and breathy -- like Marlon Brando in the Godfather movies.

When it was time to leave Max was sad and on the verge of tantrum, but we were starving. So we said "C'mon, we'll go get BBQ" and he cheered right up. Yes, our boy loves barbecue. Salsa also works as a bribe. I wanted to try a BBQ place I read about nearby, but despite the web site saying it should be open that late, it wasn't. We fought terrible traffic to get there too. That put a little damper on the evening. But overall we had a very fun time. Max wants to "go bat to Cornbewweys tomowwow."

Hey - you were in our neck of the woods. Where did you get the 2 for 1? Sounds like fun - I want Millie to try the jumpy thing.

The 2 for 1 coupons are at Hogi Yogi. We also printed off dollar off coupons from www.cornbellys.com but I forgot to bring them with us.
