Field Trip Friday!

Today's field trip was to the Auburn Corn Fest. It was not at all what we expected, but that's ok. We still had fun. (As much fun as you can have eating corn in the rain...)

The first thing we did was eat corn, of course. I really thought it would be cooked in the husks over a coal carnival corn, but alas, it was just boiled corn. Very, very boiled corn.
Alex and Christian eating corn. Well, Alex was eating it and Christian won't eat in public, so he just sort of looked at it. Yes, he always looks this happy.

I won't let them ride carnival rides (yes, I am one of those mothers)so there wasn't much to do. I gave them each some money to play games. Ethan blew it all at the very first game we came to. Alex had to analyze the games and see which one had the best prize (because "Of course I will beat it, mom. It is simple logic Blah, blah, blah." For the record, he didn't win.) and Christian came home with his money and put it into his bank.

After games we decided to get some caramel apples.

Schmidts are pretty amusing...

So after our adventure we headed to the pool where I finished off field trip Friday, talking while the kids splashed around like crazy people. (No, this isn't me. It is the person I was talking to!)
