Lost

Okay, so we got lost a bit today.  Daddy even had a map to get through the corn maze, but despite all that, there was apparently a wrong turn somewhere and there we were in the corn maze, pretty much the only ones left and the sun was going down.

But we were still having a good time, and didn't spot any aliens either.  This is always a good sign.  Or "Signs," if you get the reference.  Really, there wasn't too much panic about being lost - in fact, Mommy was taking some great pictures with her camera and Madison was having fun in the middle of it all.

We got there a little later, probably not long before the place closed.  The corn maze isn't that far away from here, and we were itching to take Madison to a corn maze for a few weeks now.  After all, it's a tradition each year, right?  Madison was asking, and pretty excited about the idea - so after piano class today, we got there just in the nick of time.

We didn't see any aliens in the cornfield, and no crop circles either.  This year, instead of crop circles, the aliens chose to make a maze that resembled an old man on a rocking chair, sitting next to a jug.  This you can see perfectly - if you were in an airplane.  Or... a UFO.

Anyway, we had a good time there this afternoon.  At the end, Madison made the right choices that got us free from the corn labyrinth.  She was ready to go eat afterwards, so that might have served as motivation!

This is all about twenty minutes away, so food was pretty close.  Mommy made this split pea soup at home which was delicious.  It is, however, one of those foods that resembles something Shrek would eat.  It's this dark green mass, and you can easily imagine an eyeball suddenly floating up to the surface.  But it tastes delicious:  Mommy made this from scratch, and it's filling and I suppose even "hearty."

Tonight before bed, we continued our reading of Winnie the Pooh.  Daddy also read a spooky Olivia book as well, but soon it was clearly time for bed.  We wanted Madison to get into bed early tonight, just because of all the activity coming up.  It's best to get rested up, and Madison was ready for an early night besides.

She'll sleep tight tonight.  And deep in that cornfield, so will those aliens...
