Corn Maze!

What beautiful fall weather we’ve had these last few weeks!  This weekend, Bryan is canoeing on the Kickapoo River with some friends.  It’s awfully chilly out tonight, and I’m really hoping that he’s staying warm.  For me at home, my laptop and cat are keeping me nice and toasty.

The kids and I had a nice day today.  We bummed around the house all morning (nothing of any value was accomplished), and then we went downtown and had lunch with Terry.  He just returned home from a month-long vacation to Kentucky.  He drove something like 6,000 miles while he was gone, covering every stretch of road in the fine state…or very nearly close:)

After gorging ourselves at Flavor of India on Mifflin Street (probably our favorite place to eat!), the kids and I drove over to Bubba and Lisa’s for a little visit.  Lisa played with Sylvie, Andrew played with Michael’s iPad, Michael mowed the lawn, and I took a nap.  It was a nice break:)  After a while, we all drove over to Middleton to check out a corn maze. I haven’t wandered through a corn maze in many, many years, and it was a lot of fun!  The weather was a bit chilly, and my dear, hot-blooded girl who was wearing a skirt, her cowgirl boots, a Halloween shirt and (adamantly) no jacket, was pretty chilly.  Before beginning the maze, we had fun in the craft tent cutting and pasting and running around and around (the kids, that is).  I painted Andrew and Sylvia’s faces, and they had a lot of fun!  Photos to follow.

Here are the kids diligently cutting and pasting…

Fall is here!  The milkweeds are sending off their dancing seeds.

Happy, face-painted kids.  They sure do love each other.

Here we are trying to answer some Halloween-related trivia.  When he got an answer right, Andrew would leap about, proclaiming, “I’m a genius!”

There’s my little Sylv.  She’s a delight, that girl!

Which way now??

It was Andrew’s first corn maze.  I think he had a great time!

The proceeds from this corn maze go to the Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund.  It’s located on the far west side in the Old Sauk Trails Park.  I recommend it for an active fall outing!
