So Wednesday the Cub Scouts went to a local farm and got to play in this really great corn maze which was followed by a really short and really lame, but lots of fun hayride. And then they had the option of picking a small pumpkin or enjoying a bag of homemade cider donuts and besides me and Noah and Caleb they all went for the cider donuts cause who wouldn't, that's why. Then we plopped them all down for cookies and juice, cause they obviously needed more sugar, all of those crazy eight year old boys, and then we took them home so they could eat dinner and do their homework--yeah. . . right. But it was a really fun outing and I'm really glad I got to go*.
I'm proud to brag that Caleb and I were the firsts to finish that huge 1.8 mile corn maze after which we immediately plopped ourselves into the nearest chair and almost died. Carrying a thirty pound toddler, 1.8 miles through a corn maze on a really hot and humid day is no small feat and I was rather thrilled with myself. Oh yeah. . . Momma's still got it! So then as we sat there dying, or rather I was dying and Caleb was running around terrorizing the donkey and climbing trees, Caleb stopped and pointed up at the sky and started exclaiming "train! train! train!" And I looked up and sure enough I could see it too. A train cloud chugging through the sky and I thought what a clever little kid. And so now I'm wondering, can you see it too?
*Mark (my secret weapon) came home early from work so I could go without the J Team. Otherwise, just Hunter would have gone and the rest of us would have missed out on all the fun. Thanks Daddy, from all of us!
