Clearly, this was done awhile ago . . . since we live in Idaho. There were no corn mazes convenient to our current location (that I'm aware of), but we all went with dad to state soccer in Idaho Falls. This corn maze was pretty close! I was SO happy. I just knew the kids would love it.
Notice the card in Dietrich's hands in the above picture? Since it was near Halloween they had a murder mystery theme going on at the corn maze. As we went around the corn maze we found clues telling us what farm animal did NOT kill the farmer, and what location the crime was NOT committed in. They had hole punches at each spot for the kids to keep track of what they found. It was totally fun.

| I took a lot of pictures. There were so many good opportunities I couldn't pass them up! |
 |
| Determined, motivated mystery solvers. :) |
 |
| I'm usually the one behind the camera, but I'm hoping to get in on more of the pictures. |
 |
| I'm even more motivated to get pictures of David and I together. There aren't nearly enough. |
Regarding the picture of the two of us, I've thought a lot about taking more pictures as a couple ever since we attended a viewing of our friend's younger brother. He left behind a very young family, and was quite young himself (cancer). At the viewing they had a slide show of pictures, and
so many of them were of the two of them, even after they'd had two kids together. We haven't taken many pictures together since our first wedding anniversary, and I think that if David were to die unexpectedly I'd be sad that I didn't have more pictures of him and with him. Same with pictures of me with the kids. I have a ton of them without either one of their parents, a few with David, and very few with me. The length of our lives is unknown and I want good documentation of memories, even if I don't always look as good as I like to for pictures. Anyway, just a few of my thoughts. :)
