The Cornmaze

Today we set out to tackle what I thought was an easy cornmaze along with our Mom's Club friends. Little did we all know that this thing was gigantic! The course started out with me attempting to follow the map, leading us through the letters spelling the name, "Windy Knoll" and into an ice cream cone. This is where my leading skills quickly faded! After realizing I had no clue where we were according to the map, we decided just to free go it and see what happened. We wandered through the corn, chasing kiddos as they weaved in and out of the stalk for 1 1/2 hours till we finally gave up! Fortunately, we were able to find an emergency exit sign and made our way out of the corn. Who knew a maze could be so difficult?! Addisyn was such a trooper, she walked almost the entire time! Our reward for our adventure was some wonderful ice cream. What a treat! When the morning was over and Addisyn and I were headed home, I looked in my rearview mirror to find her sound asleep! All that walking took its toll on her - she slept straight through lunch for 3 1/2 hours solid! If I am ever brave enough to tackle a maze with a 17 month old again, I think I'll carry spray paint to mark our path!











And a few pics from earlier this week

How fun was that!!! Even though we couldn't get out we had a blast. I think I'll leave the little ones home while I take the big ones next week. You didn't blog about Addisyn licking Ollie's face! I hope I have some photos of that!!!
