We had an amazing weekend in Salt Lake. Sarah Kate had Thursday and Friday off of school so we decided to take a trip down to Salt Lake. We called Kenny's sister Karen to see if they wanted to go with us. Her kids also had Friday off of school and they wanted to do something. They rented a house in Draper for us all to stay in and we headed out Friday morning. We met them in Lehi at Thanksgiving Point. I'm not much for advertising, but if you want a great fall/Halloween experience and live near Salt Lake, go to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point. It was amazing. Fall is my favorite time of year and I've been looking for something Fall-like to do. This was the cream of the crop. I loved it and so did the kids. It was decorated so wonderful and had so many things for the kids to do and experience. I recommend it to anyone.


Hannah was in Princess heaven. She got to dress up and sit in a fall decorated carriage.

They had the coolest water system. You'd push the duckies from one side to the other using water that was reused. It was so simple, but so cool at the same time.

Instead of a sandbox they had a corn box. It was the weirdest thing. It was filled with dried corn and it felt so good. I never knew a box of corn could feel so neat.
Gracie sitting in the corn! Amazingly she didn't eat any of them, but we did find corn kernels for days.

This was a huge hit for Hannah and when I couldn't find her all I needed to do was go look in the cornbox. She was there burying herself.

Ben being goofy on the train. What a cute boy.

Hannah being cute on the horse tire swing.

They had the coolest jumping thing. It's called a Jumping Pillow and it was so much cooler than a trampoline. I like this picture because you can see my niece Maddi in mid trick.There was a corn maze that was shaped like the head of David Archuleta (the American Idol kid from last year.) It was a lot of fun except for the never ending David Archuleta songs playing in the background. That got kind of annoying.

Hannah loved picking the corn off the ground and then shucking it. Daddy liked the added hair he got. Too bad it didn't stick.


The kids at the corn maze.

Hannah enjoyed so many things about cornbelly's. I think she was at the perfect age to go to a place like this. One of her favorites was the cow train. She could have ridden this all day and been perfectly happy. The first time she rode it with me and then she rode it herself, a few more times.

Gracie loves slides and this bumpy slide was great. It took me awhile to let her go down by herself, but when she did she loved it and immediately crawled back to the stairs to go again.

Sarah driven the tractor.

They had pedal go-cart things with a track that the kids really enjoyed. It was great because they had little ones for kids and big ones for adults.

Sarah tried out the big ones and did a surprisingly good job. She's getting so big so fast.

I thought Gracie would like the cow train. The first time she went with Maddi (her cousin) and was not a fan (she cried the entire time) but then Sarah wanted to try taking her. She loved sitting with Sarah and loved the train. It was late and she was tired and overwhelmed. I think she just wanted someone she knew to take her. It made Sarah very happy.

They had a pumpkin patch where you could pick pumpkins. The kids each got a pumpkin and we pick up a few extra ones that are really cool. They were super cheap too.

We ended the day with a hay/wagon ride around the pumpkin patch. It was such a great day with perfect weather, great company, and a wonderful fall feeling.
