Once again we join with our homeschool friends to go get lost in the corn maze! This year's theme was The Pride of Maryland. It was in the shape of the Maryland state flag. Thayne and his friends made it through in under 15 minutes. It took us girls only a little bit longer. There was an interesting video at the first about Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin with parts of their farm scenes cut into it. when we first started coming the farm had a video that showed baby chicks being culled. It was a little bit traumatizing for the children. Glad that they have improved the video portion. Southern Maryland definitely has its quirks.
Oh these precious kiddos of mine. The time between childhood and being an adult is growing thin. It has been a blessing to home school them because we have had time to be a family that we wouldn't have had otherwise. They have not been dealt the easiest life with the challenges being mortal that this life has given them. But Grace is a wonderful thing and they both have eternal outlooks that help make it all a bit easier.
Maliea loves this every year. I was a bit sad that the larger maze wasn't open for the day due to too much mud. Maliea loves the challenge of making it through the maze on her own.
It has been a beautiful day, not too cold and just enough wind to keep us from getting all sweaty as we ran around everywhere. Thayne and his friends Maddux, Robert and Jonathan all have had the best time playing in the hay piles and the corn. I failed to get pictures of any one picking out their pumpkin this year. It was a bit harder because the weather had turned many of them to moldy mush , but we did find some great ones to take home. Life is more fun when we can make memories with our friends.
