The Country.

So, my camera broke back in August. Sad day. I blame that very fact, for not blogging more. That and Mister Cian is refusing to nap.

If I happen to be with Bryce, we get to use his phone for our camera. Here we are doing our Indiana Fall tradition to Exploration Acres--only the biggest corn maze in Northwest Indiana!

The free wagons to use are awesome.

Yup, we are those parents. Diaper checks in public? Of course. Not sure if this beats the nose to the diaper check or not.

Making sure he got all the ducks.

I am always asking to use his phone.


To capture these.







My several attempts to get him to look at the camera.

He is such a people-watcher.




My favorite picture of the night. These adorable tire swings (new this year!) were his favorite!

The hay ride to the maze.

Isn't the day just perfect??

Brycen taking the lead. We had a lot of rain this year, the corn got huge! Last year, was a drought and we could see over the corn to find each number (lame!) It's amazing how much 'stuff' I need to bring to be prepared. Once the sun goes down, it gets chilly. And water, is ALWAYS a necessity. Ever since my delivery with Brycen....I never want to feel that thirsty again! And I'm finding, Brycen is the exact same way.

There were 25 numbers to find throughout the different mazes. They include coupons from participating businesses. It's pretty fun.  Hopefully this picture can finally get me to fix my slouch...

His awesome, "cheese!"


Indiana is beautiful! Not mountains, but still stunning.

There was a bridge connecting two mazes and for what I'm sure is a landmark for those that get severely lost.

I only include this one for the cute boys.

And this one for me.To get it all in one picture? Baha!


The boys were loving it so much, Bryce and I took turns going to get the three number punches we needed in the connecting maze. We carried a fallen corn stalk with us so the boys could track where we were in the maze while they watched from the bridge. I wished I had gotten a picture but Bryce took his phone with him. You will have to take the above picture and insert a moving corn stalk three feet higher than the rest. The boys loved it! Little Cian, "Go Daddy! Go!" He then giggled so hard when he could see Daddy racing back.
The bridge was one of my favorite parts of the evening! Isn't the sight gorgeous?! The true country side. I LOVE it!


My boys.


Necks are overrated.



The camera phone starts to not do as well the more dark it gets, even with a flash.






It was our 5th year coming. Last year, Grandma and Grandpa Walker accompanied us (http://brycencw.blogspot.com/2012/09/t-i-m-e.html) and the three years before are summed up here: http://brycencw.blogspot.com/2011/09/our-indiana-tradition.html

We LOVE it!!
