The weekend of Oct 17 and 18th, we just had Caelyn. Chloe went to the lake with my parents. Not only did she go to the lake, but she also went into Branson, MO to go shopping but she got to spend a day at Silver Dollar City. She told us all about it. She loved all the rides, she even rode a big roller coaster, put her hands in the air, and screamed. She also told me that she told Grandpa that there was nothing to be scared about on the rides. At one point my parents called me to tell me how the day was going and said they tried to get her to go into one of the toy stores there and she didn't want to cause she wanted to go on a ride. Our girl loves roller coasters..lol
So while Chloe was gone we took advantage of being able to spend some one on one time with Caelyn. My friend Leanne emails about going to the Great Godfrey Corn Maze so I mentioned it to Dave. We decided to go and asked Aunt Cindy to come along too. Besides Dave being anti-social to the girls that I knew it was alot of fun. Dave and I had actually been there 6 years ago, but have never made it back since having the girls. I think this is something we will start doing each year. It was alot of fun and I think if Chloe was there it would have been even more fun. 
Every year the maze theme is different. I want to say when we were there before the theme was the Wizard of Oz. This year it was Medieval Times. So if you were looking at the maze from above you would see a knight on a horse and a castle. When you go into the maze (which is actually 2 different sections) they give you tasks to complete to be able to find your way through it, they also give you a flag that you can hold up if you get lost in there. The first year they were riddles to figure out and specific points to tell you which way to turn, this year you had to find numbers with hole punches. For some reason I don't remember it being as easy as it was this time. WE started off doing phase one of the maze, then we moved to the corn crib (it is a giant sandbox, but corn instead of sand), then on to phase two. They also offer a hay ride and "dragon" rides (which were kiddie barrel rides).
