Autumn trip to Minneapolis
Although "shopping" isn't usually thought of as a photo-op, going to the Mall of America with Matt and Noah was sure fun!
Noah IS two, which means he is excited to explore and test the limits! ha. Matt carried Noah on his shoulders as much as he could, but there had to be some hat-trying-on as well. Noah stuck close to his big brother for the most part, but did make a dash for it at one point... that was when we were done in that store. haha.
It wasn't long before Noah had fallen fast asleep, despite the lights, sounds, and smells that surrounded him. I guess the activities that preceded his nap were more tiring than I'd realized.
Grandma Karen helped Noah carve a pumpkin. Noah was NOT interested in sticking his hand in the ooey, gooey insides of the pumpkin, but that didn't stop him from wanting to see what was going on. I bet Noah will have more fun with digging out the pumpkin guts next year.
Noah hams it up for the camera, while we listen to a wildlife presentation (see the guy in the background with an owl on his arm?). It wasn't quite animated or action-packed enough to hold Noah's attention, but he behaved fairly well, and it was a brief rest from the walking around at the Sever's Corn Maze in Shakopee, MN.
What a great idea.... use the corn that you harvest to make a corn maze, to fill this "pool" of corn! The kids jumped and frolicked in the corn, as if it was a pool of water! HOW FUN!!! I will tell you though, that there were corn kernels EVERYWHERE (pockets, sleeves, socks, diaper... nuff said). ha
Matt stayed nearby for safety sake, as Noah got a ride on a pony! FUN times in Minnesota in the first weekend of October!! It was a great weekend with family, and it was SOOOO great to visit Matt in the Twin Cities! We miss you Matt!!!
