I love small town activities that are both entertaining and eccentric. Here is one we look forward to visiting next year with Edwin.
The train ride was the ideal activity for James.....we arrived early and got numerous rides around and around the track.
This is a corn box. We found it's much easier to clean up from the corn box than a sand box.
Only in Iowa, right?
Our neighbors were with us and that just added to the fun.
Anne, Gavin, Loie, Grace, and James stood still for a brief moment.
These are corn cob guns. We shot corn on the cob in the pasture that was still filled with cows.
Sorry for any pain we may have unintentionally inflicted on the poor animals across the ditch.
This is the pumpkin cannon. They moved all the cows for this activity, but really the cows were safe. The cannon shot the pumpkins across the pasture and into the neighbors farm. If I was good at distances I'd guess how are far the pumpkins flew, but alas, that's Edwin's area of expertise and you'll have to wait until next year when he is there to gauge the area.
The kids found this 45 pound pumpkin.
What a beast!
