For our second day of Fall Break, we went to the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point.
We had such a stress free and fun time at the begining. We enjoyed all the sights and the boys even went, all by their selves, into the big haunted monster. We had a blast.
We rode the cow train...Tan sat in my lap.
They played on the big wooden train....
AND THEN....
We went through the cornmaze... I hate cornmazes!
It was not the most enjoyable experience. Maybe its fun for teens, but for a mom with three kids and the hot sun...it was just not that much fun.
So, we snuck our way through it (we cheated!!) and went and had lunch.
And then we went and played some more.
All the kids LOVED the duck races....
especially Tan.
Oh...if I had known that what this sign was to fore tell...I would have just left right then!
So, after all the fun things, the boys wanted to go to the big bouncy area. So, I told them to go ahead, as I followed slowly with Tanith. After a few minutes, Dallin ran back to grab Tan. So he took her over and got her bouncing...and boy, did she bounce!
They were having a great time together. I tried finding Brennan, but couldn't find him. I thought it was just because there were so many kids bouncing.
Suddenly, Dallin ran to me and said, "Brennan's not over there bouncing!" and we looked and saw he had taken his shoes.
HE WAS GONE!
So, I started looking. I talked to moms, I looked at the slides. I looked at the picnic area. I looked at the mine area...I looked and looked. I was freaking out. WHERE IS BRENNAN!?
I found an employee and asked her if she had seen him. She said she would make an announcement. So, I went back to Dallin and Tanith and we waited. I called Rick...I was FREAKING OUT on the phone. Totally scared. Crying. Shaking...
Then suddenly, a lady brought Brennan over to me.
OH MY GOSH! We just hugged and hugged.
Turns out, he never knew that I had actually come over to the bouncy area, so he had gone to find me. A lady heard the announcement about a missing boy, and saw Brennan and that he matched the description, she asked him, "are you lost" and then took him to an employee who brought him to me.
I'm still shaking and freaked out over it.
Its really sad, because we were having such a stressfree time there.
I sure do love my kids.

Dallin was serious at first, but by the end, we were just out for fun
Tanith would often start putting just a few inches from the hole.
Brennan had some interesting skills
Lots of laughing, lots of running, lots of playing, very little actual golfing!
After a great round outside, we went inside to leave, but Brennan started pushing buttons on all the games and got free tickets. Like 20 in total, so I took out three dollars, got tokens and let the kids bowl.
We got 75 tickets in all, but we are saving them for next time we go, so we can collect even more tickets and get a bigger and better prize--this BTW took a lot of convincing. Finally we left happy.
scary moment (see post below), I had a wonderful and beautiful morning.

I think Brennan ate more frosting then was put on his cookie!
A very happy frosting girl.
I remember looking through my own childhood photo album and my brother Paul would ALWAYS make silly faces. Now I realize..its a boy thing at this age. Those silly 8-10 yr olds!
Brennan was very gentle with his sprinkles.
It was fun watching Tan get so particular. She actually only ate a part of her cookie and then gave the other one, plus two others she made to Rick. Ah, so sweet!
My two finished cookies. Mmmm...not on my diet, but yummy none-the-less!
One our first offical day of fall break, we went to lunch at California Pizza Kitchen with Rick and then we bought Chutes and Ladders, built a fort and sat inside playing.
cle, we happened to have a storage unit full of everything they needed! So, we rented a moving van and down we went.
omatoes which is where these fun pictures were taken at. Tanith, Brennan and Dallin really enjoy Grandma Joyce.
e shes my grandma".
Dallin got a cougar hat and Brennan got the wild blue hair.
Hes so silly!
The team came out and gave high fives, fist pounds and lots of attention to the boys. "NICE HAT!" they all said to Brennan and Dallin. Of course the boys were thrilled. The goalie was REALLY nice and gave lots of extra attention. What a great team of good, outstanding boys.
I think Brennan wants to be like the goalie
GO ICE CATS!
GO BYU!
Me and my boy. He really loves ice skating, so being a hockey game was a big deal for him.
The team was SO awesome. They gave Dallin and Brennan ICE CATS water bottles!!
Can you tell they are excited. They even learned some of the Cougar theme song.
Brennan really loves his cousin Andy, and Andy feels the same. He is SUCH A GREAT cousin. He really was patient with the boys.
Number 16 was awesome. He even waved to the boys through the glass.
We "bought" 10 pucks for the HUCK A PUCK contest and Brennan enjoyed stacking them up. Andy helped him make a pyramid which was a huge hit!
We had perfect seats for slapping high fives with the team.
Ah, the zamboni. Always a good thing!
Dallin was really into everything.
More cheers and high fives for the team...
Like my blue hair and my BYU shirt?
All three boys got so much attention since we were right by the glass and the tunnel.
After the big win (6-1), we gave an enthusiastic cheer and highfive as the team left the ice. I really enjoy going to the game and can't wait for the next one. GO BYU ICE CATS!
