The Corn Maze

October 25, 2012 By Erica Deuel 5 Comments

Yesterday, I showed you a glimpse of our corn maze adventure.  The boys loved going down the slide that was at this farm.

Today, I have part two of this “family date” post to share with you.  I don’t know what we are going to do with all the pictures from this outing, but I can’t stop looking at them!  Please enjoy this photo book below :).

We all started really, really excitedly going through the corn maze.  It was an adventure.  This was a perfect environment for my little independent toddler as well.  She loves to walk, and we could just let her GO here, with all her walking going in the right direction.

I don’t normally make my kids wear “dressy, church” clothes as they like to refer to them.  Knowing we could get awesome pictures, I laid out special outfits for them.  Nothing against the usual wardrobe revolving around Superheroes.  I like that too.

She melts me and totally has me around her little finger.  My best girl is my daughter.  What a gift!!!

As our time frame in the maze got “lengthened” by our wrong turns, the boys got hot and started shedding some layers.  It became like an episode of Survivor as we got hot and ran out of water.

We call this J’s “million dollar smile”.  When he smiles with those big blue eyes, you can’t help but smile back!

This son of mine is hilarious and a complete blast.  He’s got a sense of humor that could land him a stand up comedy job (we think) anytime he wanted one! 🙂

There was a little game throughout the maze about a mystery to solve.  Every sign gave you some clues, and if we made it to the end, I’m sure we would have figured it out.

They are best friends!  It is a completely beautiful thing as a mom to see.

After a few “self-made paths,” we finally emerged from the maze.  There is nothing wrong with the entrance also acting as the exit, in our case.

We got on the wagon ride, and took it around the property to their little farm.

On the farm there were live animals that you could pet and feed.

There was also a pumpkin patch!  You could pick pumpkins right off the vine to buy.

As part of your entry fee to this corn maze adventure place, you got to pick a free small pumpkin to take home.  Reagan was thrilled!

After the farm and wagon ride, we went back to the entrance where the big slide was and enjoyed some of their other activities.  One of which were these stacks of hay to jump on and from.

It was a boy’s paradise!

Reagan was obsessed with this “cow train” and might have ridden it a couple of times in a row.  She even got her own ride when other children choose to get off and do other activities.  She was obsessed!

There was a big corn silo that you could climb in and play with all the dried corn kernels.

Boys will be boys and find a good fight at all times :).

The boys got a kick out of shooting corn stalks at wood cows as well.

As you can see, we are a fan of this place!  We had so much fun, and we stayed the whole four hours it was open on Sunday!  Now do you want to know where it is!?!

It is at Mitcham Farm which is located just 30 miles east of downtown Atlanta in Oxford.  If you go to this link you will find it at on Half off Depot.  This coupon is for $5.00 admittance for everything I have talked about!  That is a great deal for a corn maze, hay ride, farm experience, free personal pumpkin, cow ride, slide, corn shooter, and corn barrel!  Reagan and J were both free too, so it only cost us $15.  We were thrilled!

If you go and try this place out, I’d love to hear about your experience!  Remember, pay attention to your map in the maze.  You could get lost.  It happens.

I hope you are having a great week!  It is almost the weekend!   If you haven’t entered my giveaway yet, there is still a small window!  You have till midnight tonight!

**Neither Half Off Depot nor Mitcham Farm has compensated me in any way for writing this post. Neither one even knows I exist.  I paid for my coupon like everyone else.  We just had a great time, and I wanted to share it with you.

My Wedding Review

October 2, 2012 By Erica Deuel Leave a Comment

I love weddings.  I love the joining of two lives to become one and the celebration and party that comes with it!  We were so honored to be such a part of last weekend’s family wedding.

We got to the wedding at Spring Lake Events, and the boys were literally so excited they could have walked down the aisle right then.  I had to hold these cuties back for about an hour and half.

They did not mind because the venue was so gorgeous and right out of a boy’s dream.  There were fields, a lake, and rocks.  What more could a kid want!?  My task was to keep them somewhat clean. 🙂  Hence, Reagan was NOT in her flower girl dress.

I let the boys run and release some of that energy!

How cute is that sign they ran too!?!

The running worked and wore them out a bit.  So, we gathered their goodies and got ready to go down the aisle.

I just LOVED how J held his pillow in every position but the literal way it is supposed to be held for a ring bearer.  Take note of this in the pictures 🙂

Those Tic-Tacs helped keep Reagan in the wagon.  They were like a puzzle for a while until she realized how she could dump them out and get more at a time out.

One thing I just love about having three young kids is the numerous amazing pictures we get.  Although it is rare to get all three smiling AND looking at the camera at the same time, there are so many amazing “other shots” gotten in attempts of  that ONE shot.  For example, I can’t decide which of the following three I like best.

They are so similar, but I like each one for a different reason.

Jennifer looked stunning!  One of my favorite pictures/moments is watching the groom’s face when he sees his bride for the first time.  Seth’s face was priceless!  Simply smitten with love and pride all over it.  They are going to be one amazing married couple.

The kids did an amazing job walking down the aisle!  They looked so cute and got lots of smiles.  I was so proud of them!  I keep watching the video of them going down the aisle and it makes me giggle every time!

I didn’t hear most of the ceremony because my kiddos were wanting to play musical chairs and were needing to be reminded “whisper”, “no talking”, and “here’s another piece of candy”.  Bribery. For me to still get teary eyed at the parts that I did catch, shows how beautiful the ceremony was!

At one point, I might have had to chase down this run-away flower girl.  She looked so stunning and innocent, I had to capture the moment!

The wedding party was gorgeous!  I loved the pink dresses Jennifer picked out, and the groomsmen even had on pink socks with their suits!  There were so many personal, unique things to this wedding that added to the overall special and beautiful feel it created.

My gorgeous little niece, Natalie, still doesn’t know what to do with her loud cousins.  Reagan loves to “pat” her.

Here are a few pictures of the gorgeous decor items that were made up by the venue and couple…

I loved all of it.  I am no professional photographer, but it was all so gorgeous I busted out my little point and shoot whenever I could.  I know so much work went into planning this wedding.

I adore Jennifer and had talks with her before she was even engaged about her wedding.  I am SO SO thankful this day came and it was so beautiful!  She dreamed about it for a long time and deserves the best!  All those little “ideas” and moments of hours and hours of work came together to create one incredible day.

She had personal drink buckets, TWO photo books used for guest books (you know those take FOREVER to make!), lots of cute signs, a photo booth with props, her initialed necklace for the reception…and so so much more.  It was gorgeous!

One of my favorite parts of the whole thing was watching these cousins interact.  They I(‘m pretty sure) adore each other in a sweet, innocent way.

Reagan giggles at anything Nolan does, and Nolan seems to always find Reagan.  Such sweet friends!

How gorgeous was their cake!?!  Ombre pink flowers!

We love you Seth and Jennifer and will be here for you always!  We believe in you both and wish you nothing but the best!  May God continue to richly bless you both!!

Thank you so much for checking out my wedding review!  I hope you are having a great week!
