Corn Maze and Pumpkin Hunting

Today we went to "The Farm" in Snohomish to do the corn maze of Washington State with Crystal's exchange program group. Apparently Crystal has never been to a farm and was slightly put off by the smells and the mud. We had a lot of fun but the field and maze were sloppy muddy! Both boys fell several times and were completely filthy by the time they got done. Andrew was relatively clean except for his hands but Zane managed to slip and fall in some pumpkin slime that was very busy molding in the field. You should have seen Eric dragging him in the grass to try and get the majority of it off. It was sticky and goopy and no amount of wiping with a tissue was going to get it off his jeans. We also got pumpkins that we will be carving tomorrow so you can check in later to see our creative masterpieces!

The Farm also had a whole bunch of super cute animals to pet and play with. Andrew got to hold a kitten and he fell in love with it! He hasn't gone so far as to ask for a kitten of his own but I am sure that the day will be coming soon. He adores cats (especially grandpa and grandma meows) and always wants to pet and hold them. Eric, on the other hand, is not a cat fan and it will be up to him to break his boy's heart. I like cats, I grew up with them and think they are lots of fun. Plus it is so cute to see Andrew snuggling a kitty. Andrew actually picked this picture for the blog out of all of them because it had the kitten in it. Let's just see how tough Eric is in a few years when his little guy is begging and pleading for a cat of his own!
