i know sam took more pictures, but these were all i could find.
in any case, this weekend we were expecting our very first visitors to sparta!
james and emily are our good friends from law school.
we absolutely love them.
last october, we spent our autumn days at the dairy farm, on a hay ride, and running through a corn maze. we decided we'd try to keep up the tradition.
we got to the corn maze a little late, just before closing time.
it was really dark out, but only 6:00 in the evening.
we bundled up the babies and took along our stroller and a free rental stroller from the corn maze people, and headed into the maze. there were several other kids just starting, so i didn't feel too bad.
however, i soon realized our crew was at a huge disadvantage trying to push the strollers through the sticky mud. we did our best to keep on the fallen corn husks, but mostly we were slipping and sliding and utterly lost. we didn't make it through all the check points, but we did make it out of the maze - which had quickly become our goal after 10 minutes. i don't think we made it out until around 7.
our shoes were caked with mud, and our fingers were red with cold, but we had laughed and scared each other all the way through, and that made it all worth it. ;)
we stopped for pizza, and went home and watched a scary movie after the kids had gone to bed - another tradition we had to keep up. ;) last year, we watched red riding hood. this year we watched mothman something or other.
one of the nights, the guys went out and emily and i just hung out and talked. it was so fun talking with someone older than 10. ;)
the next morning, they had to go on their way - they were getting ready for their big move to their new jobs, in their new town.
we all went to lunch after the kids went to school.
huck finn was closed, so we settled for tom sawyer's cafe just off the mississippi.
these are the only pictures i managed to take.
i really should've taken pictures of emily chasing down mimzy. ;) thank em.
thank you both for coming to visit. we had so much fun with you here. we'll have to make corn mazes and scary movies a tradition every year. we'll miss you guys.
