Pickin' Corn

My Auntie Mel's gramps own some land in Queen Creek and plants corn for his family and their friends. We got a lucky invite this year to help ourselves to as much corn as we wanted to pick.















The corn was taller than me and super easy to loose the blondies in. My mom made the trek with us and helped pick, pick, pick!
Tatum and Tucker had so much fun running through the corn. Of course the fields were loaded with bugs so we scratched ourselves red and raw.
Tatum loved the baby corns but all the hair made her nervous!
Picking corn is hard, dirty, sweaty work, Tatum needed a water break.
This may not look like the mountain it really was. Our entire Yukon back was full of corn. We unloaded it in the back yard and shucked and shucked and shucked!

Tatum proved to be a great schucker while Tucker was more interested in eating. He finished 3 ears when I cut him off. I told him he'd have corn in his poopy the next day and was SO excited that he actually did!
