We really haven't had the chance to do much exploring outside of food (shocker, right?) since Adrian has been working so much, but it was fun to get out and head to the local corn maze.
Before we arrived, we stopped at our favorite burger joint, Mutt's on 13th, which was a BIG mistake! We had no idea that there would be so many vendors at the corn maze -- BBQ, hot dogs, corn dogs, sweet tea, sweet corn...you name it, they had it. They even had the fair vendor with the deep-friend oreos. We ended up only opting for some sweet tea and cotton candy for the boys. I mean, they needed energy to get through the maze...
They even had a zipline! I only got a video of it, didn't have a chance to get some pictures because it was so quick. It was huge, though and the kids loved it.
They had duck races, which the boys spent much time playing with. And corn kernels were a big hit and have since invaded all of the nooks and cranies in my car...
The more I photograph Gabriel at this age, the sadder I get. I keeping getting glimpses of what he will be like in just a few short years as a sullen teenage boy. He paves his own way, that one, with his long hair and camo shorts. He has aged out of "baby crafts" and instead opts for swinging or "cruising the playground" while his brother plays.
Silas did great, but I think he was actually suffering from some allergies. In some of the photos, you can see his swollen eye, which has been gooping up, and he's been sneezing quite a bit. Adrian and I were pretty sneezy by the end of the day too, so I think there's just junk in the air. I hear Florida isn't exactly allergy-friendly.
The corn maze was an actual, legit corn maze shaped like a cowboy riding a horse. After about 15 minutes of wandering around, we just started following the masses who had paved their own way and made a second "exit" out. We were really pumped thinking we had solved the maze and then...nope. We cheated.
These freaking adorable little booties that my mom bought Silas. I mean seriously. I can't even.
I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with this photo. I love how serious they all are.
I can't wait to watch these kids grow up together. I love how much they love each other. Silas just looks at the older two and laughs and smiles.
We ended the day with steaks and asparagus on the patio while being eaten up by mosquitoes. It's a glamorous life we live. I can't wait for Halloween tomorrow!
