| Over the longer Labor Day weekend a few weeks back, we headed down to Altoona, IA to visit Brad's family. Thea Belle and her cousin Ivy love each other! Yay! Dancing with girl cousin-friends! |
 |
| Boy cousins and Brad trying to figure out the gaming system... |
 |
| Birthday celebration for Thea Belle! |
 |
 |
| Fancy cupcakes from The Cupcakery in Des Moines. |
 |
| Pretty Ivy; brother Milo chill in background |
 |
| Great-Aunt Kay is excited about chocolate! |
 |
| Max trying to escape my photos -- ha! Gotcha! |
 |
| Great Grandma Trellis, down at the head of the table, joined us for church, dinner and birthday celebrations! |
 |
| Corn Maze time! -- My first time, even though I grew up on a farm surrounded by corn fields: There weren't too many farmers around my part of farm-country that would mow mazes in their cornfields. At least, that's my explanation of why I never encountered such a thing until now. |
 |
| I *love* freshly-haircut-ted boy heads... |
 |
| Corn Tee-pee |
 |
| Oh, so pretty! |
 |
| I badly wanted to do the big maze -- but it was $6 a person and not $1 and it was supposed to take grown-ups a couple hours...so with 6 kids, 7 years old and younger, you got it... |
 |
| Mini-Maze! |
 |
| The maze also included a game where you have to find 8 different punch shapes found in different crannies of the maze -- If you find all 8 you get to enter a raffle. Brad and Kara love games like this so we finally found all 8 even split up into two kind of groups, Kara and Me with the younger kids and Brad with the older boys. |

| Special Grandma reading time, cuddling... |

I would love to do a BIG corn maze some day too - never done it despite the corn fields surrounding my own childhood house.
Let's do it!
