weekend fun

On Saturday we decided to have a double dose of fun!  Fist we took our little pumpkin to the Pumpkin Patch at the Agrirama (huh-hem, excuse me, the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village) here in Tifton.

We had a good time...mostly (to be explained in a moment).  Ben loves riding the train there and he had a fantastic time playing in the corn box (like a sandbox, but filled with dried corn kernels).

In case you can't see it, and who could really, Ben is making a corn angel here.
Happily the sand sifter he's laying on looks just like his halo! (Totally unplanned!)

 He completely covered in corn and corn dust when he got out of there!!  Also on the P-Patch menu - a big tractor that was AMAZING and a huge seesaw!

 

So now to the not so much fun part - we were headed to the corn maze when I took a spill on a sandy, pebble infested downhill slope.  I landed on my knee and, of course, injured my poor self.  My scrape had bits of gravel and sand in it and still hurts even now, three days later.  But I mommed-up (which, by the way should totally be the phrase, not manned-up, because if Jeff or Ben had fallen and gotten my kind of injury, no way would we have stayed) and we enjoyed the train ride and more corn box time even though I was bleeding and hobbled.  Ben didn't really want to do the corn maze anyway, so, no big loss there.  :-)

Later that evening we went to a friend's new home to watch the LSU / FL game.  We enjoyed good food (Jeff made some fabulous chili for chili dogs) and our Ben got play with our friends' son, Ben (we call him 'little Ben').  They had fun with the alphabet magnets on the fridge and going up and down the stairs in the backyard!

Sunday we worshiped and relaxed and our weekend came to a close in a peaceful and wonderful way.  It's so nice to have an enjoyable and truly relaxing weekend every once and while!    :-)
