As noted in my earlier post, this last weekend was UEA break for us. We generally try and go to St. George for a mini vacation, but this year Jake was playing baseball so we had to be at home. The first two days of break were devoted to watching baseball in the 70 degree weather...it was gorgeous out! Perfect for baseball. On Saturday, the weather was still wonderful, so we dedicated the day to yardwork. The kids were thrilled, as you can imagine. We started at about 10 am and finished at about 7 pm. The kids made it into the afternoon before we let them run off to play. We did, however get quite a bit done. We pulled up the garden and weeded, cleaned out the shed, took a load of junk to the DI, weeded flower beds, put away hoses and finished off with cleaning out my van (again!). I love it when we have a productive Saturday!
The kids were so patient about not really getting to do much over the weekend, other than watch baseball and work, so on Monday we set out for Cornbelly's Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point. Since all of Utah is on UEA break, we weren't the only ones there. It was pretty crowded, but we still had fun. We spent most of the afternoon there with Brenna to help me. We did the corn maze, facepainting, rode a hay wagon, jumped on a huge trampoline, watched pig races, went on the huge slides a dozen times or more and went through the Haunted Creature. My kids even voted me 'Best Looking Mom' at the pig races which in turn won me the fun of kissing a pig before the race started....thanks guys! The kids had a great time. They came home exhausted and filthy, but what's a little fun without some dirt?

UEA was just another lame weekend for us, nothing fun or out of the ordinary. Bummer. But that is the way it is every year for us. For some reason we have never caught the UEA spirit.
Go Jake by the way. Lame Beavers can stick their tales under a semi on I-15, oh wait they already did! Sweet!
I had never heard the boob fairy song before, but I must say, the song explains a lot. I finally realized that the fairy spent WAY too much time at my house and should have gone to some other girls who hung their bras on mailboxes, I wouldn't have minded less visits from the fairy.
Well it looks like you guys had a lot of fun at the corn maze! I love having productive Saturday's too!
What a fun family outing! Wish we had more places like that around here (that don't cost an arm & a leg anyways!).
HaHa! You crack me up! What a fun weekend. You sound like me...I LOVE productive Saturdays. Sadly, I haven't had one in a while! I love your house and yard, though. It made me jealous! I want one too!
We went to the Corn Maze on Saturday, and the kids loved it! But, like you said, everyone else decided to go too! The place was a madhouse. At least...I didn't have to kiss a pig! :) But, you are a pretty hot mom. HaHa
Hey, I'm glad you finally left me a post! I love peeking at peoples blogs too. If you don't mind, I'm going to add you to my friend list so I can keep in touch! We love your family.
