Last Fling...

...before school REALLY started.

On labor day, Seth, Porter, and I went into Portland. We decided to go to the Portland Corn Maize! Now, those of you from Twin, you will know of the corn maze in Burley area. This one is like that one, but I liked it better because it had other things to do, too.

This was the design for this year. Pretty rockin.

The corn was high,

the skies were beautiful,

and we were ready to go!

They had these "cornundrums" that told you which way to turn to help you through the maze. They had a bunch of different catagories to choose from, as well. Seth took the cornundrums or facts about corn, and I took the Pop culture like music, movies, and tv.

Most of the questions were pretty simple, but we did end up lost a few times.

We had a pretty fun time, and eventually found our way out!

Here are a few other things they had there:

Pretty sweet places to take pictres,

a "cow train" that we didn't ride, but I thought was really cute,

and a barn to see all the farm animals. Porter was really interested, and especially liked the roosters...who were really noisy.

After our fun walk through a maze, we went further into Portland to see the oldest church in the city. Called...

Pretty clever name huh? Well, we showed up 40 minutes late, and the church was closed. So, we just got pictures from the outside. Maybe sometime later, we'll have to get pictures from the inside. I guess there's a really nice stained glass window inside.

After our uneventful visit to "the old church," we made another stop.

This place is really pretty. I just enjoyed the scenery, really. It's a Catholic...um...sanctuary, I guess.

Porter kept himself occupied...

With his toes :)

And there you have it!

Afterward, we were very hungry, and made a stop at Pizza Hut on the way home. Quite a day!

Seaside

Who doesn't love this...

or this...

or this!?

That's right, that's a buggy and some kites. Now imagine steering a buggy with those kites!! My thoughts exactly. Pretty sweet. Seaside has a kite day where everyone takes their kites to the beach for a get-together of some kind, and we were invited to go by one of Seth's teachers. So las Saturday, we went! I guess it's pretty popular.

Well, I actaully didn't get to go on the buggies or fly a kite, but Seth got to. He got to learn how to direct those sweet speed kites. I was supposed to have gotten a turn to learn, too, but my eyes were so watery from the brightness of the sun on the waves and the constant wind that I couldn't see.

So while Seth was taught by one of his teachers, Dr. Eakland, who actually graduated with Seth's dad...

Porter and I had some fun in the car.

According to Seth, those kites really pull! I was watching a few other people as they were playing around, and I saw a few of them get pulled off the ground from the pull of their kite. I really wish my eyes weren't so dang sensitive. Next year, I know now to bring a hat, bigger sunglasses, and some eye drops. I totally want to ride one of those buggies!

Well, because I didn't have much fun at the beach, Seth asked me if there was anywhere else I wanted to go so that I wouldn't feel like I was wasting my time. I'd heard of the Seaside Aquarium, so I decided that we should go there. So, because my husband is the best, we went there!

It's probably not the best aquarium in the world, but I enjoyed a lot of their exhibits.

We saw the seals last. This was Porter's favorite part.

Then it was time to go home...

Foolin' with Daddy

"You lookin' at my bum?"

Grabbing at Daddy's glasses, like usual

About Extensions...

Because some of you have said you couldn't see the extensions very well in my post about getting them, here are a few pictures with...a clearer view I guess you could say...

By the time I took these, the one in my bangs fell out. Now, I'm down to just one section because all the others have followed suit and left my head.

Just to make sure you see them, I grabbed a section :)
