We went out to our favorite "pick-your-own" farm today to enjoy the corn maze before it gets plowed under to make way for next year. While the corn stalks were dried out and falling over, it still had that strange feeling of being lost and your bearings being all out of whack. It was a bit unseasonably warm today which made it very comfortable to be out in the middle of the field not knowing where we were. What made it more fun was that the farm had positioned five little "roaming gnomes" around the maze and had the kids search for them. If they found all five and remembered their names, an ear of indian corn was their prize. Of course, since they had an endless supply of the afore-mentioned corn, basically any kid could just walk up and get one just for being there. All-in-all, we did our best and Olivia found four of the gnomes. One of them was extremely adept at not wanting to be found so we couldn't find that one.
I snapped this shot of her as she found the first one and initially thought it wouldn't come out. She moved quickly during the shot and had a scowl on her face as she just wanted to keep going. Surprisingly, after seeing the pictures, she has a great look to her and her eyes are very striking as well. Another one of those neat pictures taken when I was doubting my ability. We had a great time and can't wait until the one for next year. Hopefully, we will get there while the stalks are green and it's quite a bit harder to find your way out. I doubt, thought, we'll call 9-1-1 if we get lost.
