Finally Fall Fun!!

Our weekend started bright and early as we had to travel to an away soccer game and be there by 8am.  Dave and I made the wise decision to postpone our long run until after the game and enjoyed the much cooler weather later in the morning.  Preston was on FIRE this morning!  Not only did his team manage to pull out their first win of the season, but he scored 4 of the 5 goals for the team (playing on defense).  I wish I had a picture, but lets just say he was thrilled!  It was so chilly and wet, but maybe that's just the condition he needs to excel.

After coming home, going for a run, and knocking out some errands, the kids really wanted to do something fall-like and fun.  They chose a corn maze.  We took full advantage of an early soccer game day AND the fact that Clemson football had a bye week to enjoy some family time at Hall Family Farm.  

We started with the big corn maze.  The kids read somewhere that if you consistently take every right turn you'll go along the edge and eventually make your way out.  I tried to explain that was not the case, but I think they learned best by experiencing that it does NOT work.  So, then we went to plan B, actually trying to find the clues in the maze to unlock the map pieces and find our way out.  We "finished" in 59 minutes 31 seconds and had to cut a few corners to find our way out.  Sadly we only found 11 of the 14 pieces to the map too, but we were all ready to escape the maze to enjoy some funnel cake!

This one enjoyed the cake a bit too much!

It was such a fun afternoon, one where we didn't have to worry about time or schedules, but could just enjoy time together.  Here's to a fantastic Fall.  We are already enjoying the awesome weather!
