There is a mountain of clean laundry that is calling at me to fold it, but I would rather put up my pictures from today. We got up early, went out to breakfast and drove out to Dixon to once again tackle the world's largest corn maze. Our first visit to this corn maze was two years ago (it wasn't open last year due to damage from high winds) and we made the mistake of going close to Halloween and in the afternoon. Today, we got there 20 minutes after it opened in the morning. We were the 3rd car there and it's a good thing because when we left it was packed. The first time we did the corn maze we kept getting stuck behind other groups, but this year we only ran into people once, and it was kind of weird. We saw them coming from another direction and they ended up a good 30 yards behind us. We were goofing around and started power walking to gain some more distance, but they were professional power walkers because before we knew it, they were tailgating us. We stepped to the side and they didn't hesitate at all to pass right on by. We aren't even sure they looked up from their maps. After we finished the maze we went and picked out a couple of pumpkins. Perfect pumpkins are hard to find, but we did our best and are pretty happy with our choices. I haven't decided what to carve into mine just yet, but there will definitely be pictures in the future.
Here are some of the shots I took today. Though, I do have to say it is hard to take photos and not get lost in a corn maze. So there might not be as many pictures as I had wanted there to be but oh well. I think AJ got tired of having to wait for me :)
The corn was so tall this year!
Creepy caterpillar.
An ear of corn that had all sorts of problems going on with it.
Look at how crazy this corn maze is. Can you imagine doing it without a map? Or at night?

Happy October!!!!
