It is officially fall in New England and we have busted out our jackets to prove it! It is gorgeous here and there are so many fabulous 'fall' things to do. Today we decided to try our luck at the local corn maze and pumpkin patch.
Now I'm not going to lie, corn fields kind of creep me out. It think it stems back to a slumber party I attended back in 5th grade where we mistakenly watched a horror film involving killer children that hung out in corn fields...::shudders:: Luckily I have a strong husband that promised via pinky swear that he would protect me if any murderous children crossed our path. ::phew::. So off we went into the maze with our 25 cent map in hand hoping that this would not be the last time we saw civilization. Now, we had a few false starts but once we figured out the map it was smooth sailing. I also learned that my cute hubs is a navigational genius, which was awesome since I wasn't paying attention as I was keeping my eye out for creepy kids. His sense of direction is almost spooky. Once he figured out where we were, he had us in and out of that maze in less then 20 minutes, never making a wrong turn. ::phew:: We had so much fun!
For the corn maze enthusiasts I would recommend never watching "Children of the Corn" and always taking Todd with you on such activities. There is something very comforting about the Marine/Eagle Scout combo when you are lost in a corn field. Just knowing the fact he could whip up a signal fire in a pinch is very soothing. :)
