Finding Fun in a Corn Field

Everybody knows that the best pumpkins are always in the BACK of the pumpkin patch.

Which way out of here?

Rich and Neal discussing which path to take. Well, not really. Who knows what they talk about
hopefully its where he got that camera so my hubbie can get one for me! I have camera envy ;)

One of these dudes did not wear his coat....too cool for warmth.

Anyone who knows Richard, knows we are headed into his FAVORITE season. He loves fall: leaves changing, cooler temps, spirited drives with leaves blowing behind, pumpkins picking & carving and stealing candy from his kiddos. It had been pretty warm around mid TN up until about a week ago and the cold weather has blown in. I am wondering where those indian summer days went.

Last weekend we went to try out the corn maze at the Rippavilla Plantation with some fun friends. The corn maze is cut out like the solar system with pitstops along the way telling you about the planets. For those of you with kids, you know we read about 2 sentences total about the planets the whole time we were there. What's more fun: learning about the galaxy or running through a corn maze, hiding until the right moment and then jumping out at your family to try to scare them? We managed to not lose anyone, checked out the pumpkin patch and warmed up by the campfire before heading out. It was a fun afternoon and a great way to get started on our fall festivities.
