September 2023 Part 5: Cornbellys

We got season passes for Corn Belly's again, and we took advantage of the earlier opening of the Spanish Fork Corn Belly's in late September. Season passes come with punch passes, and Rachel and Michael opted to use some of their punches for the mega trampoline. 

Rachel makes flipping around on this thing look easy, but Michael assures us that it is much harder than it looks. 

I think he may have gotten a flip in there. 

One of the times, we went with Lea and Skyler. Skyler, Rachel, and Gabe disappeared together right off the bat, and Michael sort of hung with Lea, Brian, and I, at least for a little while. 

Michael rode on this spinny ride with Lea. Brian also rode, but had the seat to himself. 

I watched from the safety of the solid, stable ground. 

Michael found the younger peeps and jumped with them on the air pillow. 

I made Michael stand by this sign so I could have a visual reference to how tall he is getting. 

We watched the younger crew ride this ride. 

We saw a beautiful sunset. 

And we all rode the train together. 

I tried to get Michael to take a good picture with me. This is how that went:

The Sunflower Festival was still going on, and we loved riding the train by all the beautiful sunflowers, especially at sunset. 

My favorite part of the night was hanging out with Lea. All the kids ditched us again, and Lea led us through all the obstacles in the ropes course, and then we laid on this mesh swing thing and talked, giggled, and looked at the stars. We felt like little girls again! We even spotted the Starlink Satellites, which we didn't know about until we saw the evenly spaced stars flying overhead. It was a bizarre thing to see when we didn't know about the satellites. 

We played some games together, and took a picture together in the big rocking chair before we had to track down our kids and be moms again. It was seriously such a great, simple night with Lea. 

We went again, without Lea, Skyler, or Michael. This meant that we actually hung out with Gabe and Rachel the whole night. 

Gabe did the apple blaster, which is always fun. 

They did the zip line swings. 

We tried to take a picture with the pumpkin spider in the background. 

We did the corn maze. 

The kids rode this ride. 

And I made them pose in front of this thing. 

We found Lil' Sebastian (Parks and Recreation reference). 

 We also got to be a part of the candy cannon test where they accidentally blasted the candy right to where they had told people to gather to be out of firing range. It was pretty funny. 

It was so fun spreading our typical October fun into September!
