Cagle's Corn Maze



This year, we went to Cagle's Corn Maze with the Poythresses and Walls. The kids were so excited about finding their way through the maze. Luckily, this year, it was MUCH warmer than our trip there last year. We started out in the "hard" maze, were we did really well. We actually finished it in about 15 minutes. The kids were much better at the trivia questions than we were...especially the bible ones!



So, after we finished, we thought we were pretty good at it, and we set off on the "easy" maze. It was NOT easy! At some point, we all got seperated. Now, I am not convinced that was not the plan. Somehow, Dana (6 months pregnant), me, and mom ended up with ALL of the kids (7 to be exact) while Shanna, Brent, Jill, Jim, Jonathan, Karl, and Lisa ended up by themselves. Tell me that was a conincidence! Our group somehow ended up crossing over the lines back into the wrong maze. It took a while, but we finally made our way out of the entrance to the other maze. Oh well, at least we found our way out!



After we finished the mazes, the kids had a great time jumping on the bouncy pillows and running around. Everyone had a great time!

Fall in the South...THE FAIR!!!



Fall is my very favorite time of year. And the fall brings one of my very favorite things to do...THE FAIR! There is nothing like the fall weather, the rides, the great people watching and the food!! (Especially the corn dogs and the funnel cakes :)



My kids love going to the fair as much as I do. We went with Shanna, Brent, Macenzie and Abbie, and then met up with the Wallaces.



The kids had a blast. We bought the wristband to ride all the rides they wanted to, and they rode all night long! This was Joshua's first time really riding anything, and he was all smiles.



We even met up with Anna Caitlin's friend Gabby, and they got to ride a ride together!



We finished off the night with some yummy food, and of course, a funnel cake!

My kids did not get in bed until 11:00 (even though the first grade was doing standardized testing...whoops!), but it was totally worth it. The fair only comes once a year and we enjoy every minute of it!
