Corn Maize!

I wanted Niko to have a fun time picking out a pumpkin, so I took him to the corn maize. We bribed Kaitie and Adam to go with us….Kaitie was Niko’s photographer and Adam did the fun things with him (since I was 9 months pregnant and not so comfortable anymore).

We let Niko see and do all the fun things while it was light out. There were pig races, which he thought was hilarious. They had goats, cows and sheep to look at and pet….Niko now says goats eat pumpkins whenever we see a pumpkin

Niko watching the pig races…I love that some adults look just as excited about it as the kids. I thought it was quite hilarious!

 

Haha, it took a while for Niko to understand what we were doing sticking our faces in a piece of wood. He was walking away and I stayed and showed him and then he thought it was funny and would go back and do it again.

In this game you have to step over the colors in a certain order until you can get to the exit. This one was broken, but Kaitie kept trying! Haha and Niko would walk around in it for a bit then out the end and exclaim “I did it”

I don’t really know what this is….Niko liked it as long as Adam was on it and holding his hand. I didn’t dare even try it at 9 months pregnant.

I’m pretty sure the slide was his favorite…we had to convince him to leave and he was smiling every time. It scared me some….because of older children who did not know how to behave! I’m sure every mom (and dad) who reads this will know what I’m talking about.

And of course he  wanted to ride all the train things and do the hay ride. But the cows made of barrels were definitely his favorite.

                                                                                                                   They had a chain link maze that had some red and green changing lights and Niko was amazed and wanted to just stand and watch the lights.  Then he would try to walk and watch them and stumble around. 

He also played play in the corn kernel box, he mostly just liked the trucks .

Then we did the regular corn maize. When we came out at the halfway point Niko did not want to go back in! But once we did he just settled in(since Adam was carrying him) and we finished it quickly.  After we were all finished we decided to just get our pumpkins at Albertson’s. Niko picked out his own cute little pumpkin!  The first one had a squishy side so we were able to talk him into a better one with a long stem. He also insisted on riding in the cart with them even though there was not really enough room.
