A-Maize-ing -Picture heavy

Today was an interesting day.  We went to Hondo, TX to go through their Corn Maze (like the title? LOL)  It was really windy and chilly, but walking through all that corn was surprisingly warm.  It only took us about an hour to finish the first half, which is pretty good considering it was the FIL, the MIL, Zuri, Aaron and I.  FIL could actually see over the stalks at some point (he's a giant) so we kept the going in circles to a minimum.  We had kettle corn, fresh from the popper.  It was my first time eating it, so now I'm going to be a snob about it and only eat it fresh, none from a bag!  Aaron got to jump on this giant, moon bounce type thing.  It was way cooler than a moon bounce because it ddn't have sides, it was just a big pillow of air surrounded by dirt.  He also got pulled by a tractor in this barrel train thing.  The kids got to pet goats too.  This weekend was military appreciation, so we all got in for free.  So cool.
After, we came home and the kids painted again.  The in-laws had a new fence put up last weekend and they wanted the kids to leave a mark on it, so we did hand prints with their names and the date under and then let them paint the rest themselves.
