Corn Maze

This past weekend we were able to go to a corn maze with a group of friends. There were lots of little children, so we didn't spend too much time there, but it was a fun outing. Ben loves being outdoors and was enthralled with the wind rustling through the corn. He had only a 20 minute nap on the drive to the maze and instead of napping while we walked, he was wide awake taking it all in. When we originally planned this, I thought it would be cold and he would need his winter hat and to be bundled up. The sun decided to shine and the Kansas wind was blowing like crazy. I ended up using sunscreen and his summer hat rather than bundling. I like fall! Come back cooler weather.

It was super muddy. I thought this picture of everyone trying to get by on the dry land was funny.

Ryan was our fearless leader/map reader. Ethan stayed in front of Ryan and Ryan would call out left turn or right turn. Ethan thought he was guiding us through :)
The maze is on 16 acres, so you have to follow the map or you might never get out. The corn was well over our heads, so you can't see anything but right where you are at.


Ben is crawling like a pro now. He follows me all over the house and even goes off on his own to find things he shouldn't. I think he spends most of his time in the kitchen in his plastics cabinet. He gets out the same toys (bowls and spoons) and will play for an hour while I do dishes or cook dinner. Our house has little steps up into the bathroom, into Ryan's office and at the entrance of our house. Ben has mastered the steps which allows him to cruise freely all over the house.

He is also making kissing sounds when prompted. I can tell him, "Ben, give mommy a kiss." And he sucks in his bottom lip which makes the kissing sound. It is so cute! He has done it for other people which just makes me so proud :)
