Aren't they lovely? They look like proper mountains with a dusting of snow on them. Snow is highly unusual this time of year-- it broke the record as Idaho's earliest snowfall. So that's a relief, considering we had an Indian summer. I need my autumn fix! No skipping my favorite season!
On Saturday it was cloudy and windy, but it was not snowing. We braved the elements to go to the pumpkin patch and corn maze. Here we are waiting for the pig race to begin. I can't believe the words "pig race" are now on my blog.
You can see Iain is thrilled about being out in the cold weather. Clearly he has more sense than his Mama.And they're off!
After the pig race, we headed over to the hayride. We were the only ones on it and there was no hay! The tractor also broke down, but they got it started up again. Iain was definitely still dubious at this point, but did show some interest in the tractor.
This is what we saw on our hayride.
After the hayride, we hit the corn maze to get a break from the wind. There were actually two mazes. One cut to look like John McCain, and the other cut like Barack Obama. I personally think the Obama maze looks more like Ronald Reagan. We ended up going in the McCain side and exiting on the Obama side, so we didn't do it right, but we just glad to be out after wandering around in there for an hour or so without a map!
After the corn maze we hit the kiddie activities in the courtyard. Iain especially loved playing in the corn pit, but at first he and this little girl stood in there like this for about 5 minutes. They looked liked little zombies!
Then we all jumped on this giant pillow. It was awesome! Definitely the highlight of my day. Though I felt a little funny being the only adult on there at first.
There was some lasso practice and yeah, that's a lot harder than it looks. They also had some animals, go-karts, and a wicked tall slide.
Overall, it was a fab day despite the winter weather.

FUN FUN FUN!!! :) :) Yours is much better than ours...and yes I have never heard of a pig race either! :)
Did you guys get snow this week too?
So what does the maze (in on the right, out on the left) say about our political leanings? Maybe we're just confused.
