This activity was called 'gemstone mining'--we had to BUY a bag of sand for $6.00, and mixed in with the sand were all kinds of stones that they let the kids pretend to mine. They dumped the sand into the little box that had a screen in the bottom. They had water running down the trough to wash the sand on down. After the sand cleared out of their box, all that was left were the stones, and they gave Kailee a little bag to collect the stones. This was her favorite thing to do that day I think.
This was just a huge 'pumpkin tree'--you can't really tell from the picture, but each pumpkin has been carved with all kinds of different pictures or faces on them. The tree has green lights all over it, so they light it up at night.
There were different slides all around each side of this huge stack of haystacks--the hay was stacked up about 10 feet high and about 30 feet long.
In their corn maze this year, they cut out a picture of David Archuleta--he came in second place on the American Idol show last year. Anyway, this was a picture of the maze that we had to get through--it is really big, and they have several tall lookouts throughout the maze so that you can climb up and see where you are.
I don't know where they got this big chair, but Kailee had fun climbing up there and posing for a picture. At the top of the chair, it says, "Cornbelly's Rocks".

Looks like y'all had a real fun time and saw lots of cool things over the weekend. That's good that you got to get away for a while. I'm wondering why you changed your blog title from "House of Horrors," I mean "House of Howland" to "Family Matters." Either way sounds good but i thought it was funny you changed it after what Danica said about it!
So, on that slide. Who is that girl in the stripes that looks like a mannequin?
