This year, we decided to switch things up a bit and eat dinner before going to the Sweet Corn Festival. It’s just too hard to go to different vendors, shuffle the kids and plates and find seating. So we arrived and went straight to the inflatables and Touch-a-Truck vehicles. That part was great! The boys got to sit in the MTD bus (always a favorite, for some reason), fire truck, and even a helicopter! Oh and this year, there was a tractor to sit in. I think this was their favorite. Last year, there was a tractor there, but they couldn’t sit in it. A real bummer.
With their fire badges.
Then, we decided it was time for corn. And finally, Mommy could get her photo of the boys as an ear of corn (the real reason I go every year. I love that!!). But we waited too long. It was dark and so packed we were literally shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of people. We made it to the corn, but didn’t see the corn ‘statue’ (can’t think of what else to call it!). It was just too dark and too crowded. Sigh. BUT the corn was delicious and worth the wading through people.
So, despite the lack of a pic of the boys as an ear of corn (I’ll get over it someday, I’m sure), we had a great time with Grandpa Neukomm and the Sweet Corn Festibal.
My handsome dates for the evening.
Check out ALL the photos if you want! 🙂
