Fun Weekend

We had lots of fun family time last weekend, starting with our end of season soccer awards ceremony and the wildly popular "coaches vs. players" soccer match. There were 9 adults playing against about 40 children, no refs, and virtually no strategy on the part of the kids, who forgot everything they ever learned about playing their position and just chased the ball all over the field! It was pretty hilarious to see this long string of kids running across the field one way and then the next. Normal matches have two 35 minute halves. This game had no halftime and they just played until the coaches' legs gave out, which turned out to be an hour and a half. My husband came home very sore! (technically I think the coaches won, but they say it was a tie)

After church the next day we went on a family date to a corn maze! We enjoyed the hayride out to the corn field because there was actually HAY involved in this hayride! (most "hayrides" we have been on were really "bare wagon rides"). Isn't this a beautiful picture of our daughter?


And all of our handsome boys!



Our whole family, before starting out.


For most of our time there we were the only ones in the maze and it was a blast to have the whole thing to ourselves! We played Marco Polo in the maze and it was SO much fun! The boys paired up in twos, daughter G got to go by herself, and hubby and I were the seekers. We gave them about a minute to go hide and then we began looking for them, calling out "Marco". They had to respond with "Polo" and then we followed their voices to find them. I will say that Little Man is an excellent hider! So good in fact, that a couple times his mama got a little nervous. :-)


All five of the children are in this picture. Can you spot them?


I'm so thankful for the fun that we had and the memories that we made. And for the beautiful sunny weather!! We are having such a glorious fall!
