Connor's A-mazing acres

Saturday we went with our friends the Jarvis family and my sister and her little family to Connors A-mazing acres.It was really fun! Just in case you may not have recognized the song on our blog has been changed to "Hanging Tough" by the New Kids On The Block. Why? Well. I had my niece and nephews stay the night the night before which included my feisty nephew Titus. We had a great time minus a few hiccups. A few screaming, throwing himself on the ground, kicking and punching hiccups. So to the Jarvis family I say " Thanks for hanging in there" We love you! When we walked in there were some hay stacks that the kids quickly made a B-line to and had fun sliding down the top of it.

Next we were off to the corn maze. Nathan made himself the designated leader. He was great and we did not get lost at all. We had fun doing and singing such fun thins as Jingle bells, bunny hop, and head, shoulders, knees, and toes. Luckily other than the bunny hop, we knew all the answers. Nathan's process of elimination led us in the right direction.
I thought this was too cute. The Jarvis clan following each other in line. Even Nana Jarvis got in on the action.






All the little ones at our second look out point. Everyone expect for Harris and Kynliegh who were eating in their strollers and Titus who was a little unhappy at the time.



I thought that the "rules" for the very clever CORN box was hilarious. Rule #3 was my favorite.












There were playgrounds, tube slides, pedal cars, duck races, and the favorite huge piles of dirt to play on.









Love the tongue kynleigh Mae!








































Last but not least they had a COW train. The ladies rode with the kids and the boys hung back. The line for the train was a little tricky with Titus but in the end was worth it.











Look at my Boo. She was so excited she kept looking back and waving at me and Harris.














This is why it was worth the whole day. Look at the smile. I do not think being a Auntie gets any better than this. Each time I can make one of them smile like this no matter what had to take place leading up to if the result is this it is worth it.
In the end I reminded myself to be MORE appreciative for 2 things:
1.) For my husband. When Titus would freak out he would walk over and take care of the situation at hand without a word of asking for him to do so. I love you, Babe!
2.) To be thankful how well behaved and easy my children are. They just enjoy life and even though one may be sassy at times and the other full of trouble, they are incredibly sweet and loving. I love you, Boo and Bear!
Thanks to the Jarvis family! Sorry for the craziness!

Life is just unpredictable with a lively two old. We took it all in stride, we are pretty used to tantrums :) Sorry you guys had to leave a little early. I hope he slept good for you on the way home! We were so glad that we got to go with you. We love you and your little family. One of my favorite parts of the day was when Abby came up beside me in the corn maze and took my hand and walked with me for a little while. She is so sweet!
