We decided to try out a different pumpkin patch this year, and it was amazing! We went to Cornbelly's, and I can not believe how much there was to do at it. We had so much fun, plus it was the most perfect weather ever for late October. As you can see we were in light jackets and flip flops. It was perfect :).
My cute little Corn Family...
A milking contest.... Ewe!
This was a bit too realistic for me :).
Slides....
Jumping on huge air filled bounce mats....
Getting lots of air!!
I decided to join in....
not a great idea with a bad back :(
Dad watching... he had worked a graveyard shift the night before, and went straight to his other job. He had not slept for almost 40 hours :(. He works so hard, and is such a good sport when it comes to still being a fun dad when he is so tired. Working two jobs and in school :(. We love you Dave!!

Waiting patiently for the younger kids to play on the bounce house....
Daxton was such a good sport,
he really wasn't loving our time at Cornbelly's :).
This picture is for Grandpa Starkey,
he is a retired firefighter!
Next, Tether-ball.....
Our cute little "Raunchy"....
We love his nickname Grandpa Hamilton gave him :)
We felt bad that there wasn't a lot for Daxton to do,
so we paid to let him climb the rock wall!
There were lots of Maze's....
Freaky Fun Houses....
This was a scary broken down bus that you walked through in one of the mazes. It was full of ghosts and dead people, and the bus driver was being electrocuted. Dawson really was very nervous through all of this. You can see it in his face in these pictures. He was so brave, I could not believe he went through this stuff!
I love these pictures, you can see how nervous Dawson is in the first one. Then in the next picture he has decided that everything is okay, and that he can smile :).
I had to take a picture of the avid fishermen in front of the spooky bait shop :).
Dax loves the Beatles,
so he thought this pumpkin was awesome!!
You can barely see it, but this was a huge scary monster that you walked into the mouth of. Inside it was like being inside its body. We walked past the heart, lungs, etc. Dawson really didn't like this part.
On to a Haunted Hay Ride....
Can you see how excited Daxton is???
Next on our list of fun... the scary guy with the chain saw!
Dawson definitely would not go near this guy, until he lifted up his mask and showed him it was a normal person :). After he was sure everything would be okay, Dawson let us get a picture!
On to the Go-karts....
No one wanted to ride these but I knew they would have fun, so I made them. Look at all the big smiles. They had a ton of fun!! Dawson was the first to try them. I love this picture of him really paying attention to the instructions. He is so dang cute!!
These were the go-karts for smaller kids, but Jada and Brayden decided to give them a try :).
We moved on to the bigger Go-karts. These were actually really hard to pedal. They were too big for Dawson, so Jada pedaled him around. He just stood on the back of hers. She is such a good big sister!
I decided to give these a try... yet again not a good idea with a bad back. One time around the track for me!
These guys on stilts were so cool! Dawson was so nervous, so if I held him he would let us get a picture :). Am I bad mom, I wonder if I have scarred him for life? Well I would say I am an awesome mom! There was this really scary Haunted Castle Maze that you had to pay extra money for, but I went up to the guy and asked if our three oldest kids could just go through. Yep, he let them go through, and I am the awesome Mom!!
The Major Corn Maze....
Dave and Dax both had homework, so they finally went home. The rest of us decided to finish all the other fun things. We had forgot about the huge corn maze, so we decided to give it a try. I was really scared to do this without Dave. I thought for sure we would get lost and have to call for help. It was suppose to take about an hour and a half to get through it. We were out in about 20 minutes. I was so happy. I guess it is just my awesome sense of direction that helped us finish so fast :).
Duck Races....
A Giant Spider Web!!
Horse Races.....
Our Beautiful Princess!
Here's Trouble with a capital T.....
We had such an awesome time! I can not believe how much Cornbelly's had to offer. It was so nice to spend such a fun time with my family :). I love you guys!!
