THE CORN MAZE

The Archers' invited Tyler & I to join them at the corn maze in Independence, LA. We had never been to this one.
Val brought this head light for Tyler... HE LOVED IT !!

Avery & Tyler - these two are such good buddies

In LOCK DOWN !!

Tyler worked up quite a sweat with these water pumps. I explained to him how I have these at work so he was very interested.. He loves my work.

Another outlaw... What's wrong with these Archer kids??

Putting his head light to good use

After the maze we took a break and the kids enjoyed a puppet show. Tyler & Avery REALLY got into the puppets. They didn't want to do anything else for some time.

OKAY !! So this may seem like a random picture to most...

BUT anyone who knows my cousin by marriage Dustin will understand.

Dustin is such a funny guy and he does things that will just crack you up.

Ethan reminds me of Dustin so much. We get to this maze and Ethan bust out this 'survival pack' JUST IN CASE we need it in an emergency. This was hilarious all in itself...

So, we take our break and he opens his 'survival pack' and he starts pulling out cans of Diet Coke, Capris Sun, Lunchables, FUDGE ROUNDS(Dustin), and I want to say a Fruit Roll-Up. He kindly shared with his MOM and only his mom... He ate his snack and said that he felt that he could go on now...... I was laughing and laughing and Ethan couldn't figure out WHY I was laughing so much... BTW, the maze took a whopping 30 minutes to get through....
OH, he also had an emergency flashlight and glow sticks...

Tyler & I at the corn gun... LOTS OF FUN !!

Now Ethan's turn

And Avery's...

After the corn shooter we went through a Haunted Maze out in THE WOODS !!! Avery, Ethan, and the other kids were scared to death and wouldn't go through it BUT TYLER was determined to see those FAKE scarey people. So, he went through it with me and he laughed at all the fake stuff. We got out and on our way to the front a man came out trying to scare Avery & Ethan with a chain saw. Well, the guy that had my boy laughing... brought my boy to tears.. It scared the living POOP out of him and he was mad at him. Once I calmed him down and told him that he wasn't coming after him, he was okay, but watching him run in fear and fall down was pretty awful... He's going to be traumatized forever I'm sure..

After all the events we stayed past closing and the owner gave the kids unlimited cow train rides... Seems like fun but after a while, you just want to go home, especially when you know you have quite the drive home...

Tyler says he's never had so much fun but next time that guy that came after him with the chain saw was gonna get beat up by his daddy.....
