Wow, did I really just miss the whole month of October on
this deal? I guess I’ve been busy, or
lazy, or… I don’t know, pick one. Where
should I begin? Ian had his first trip
to a corn maze/pumpkin patch last month, thanks largely to his overgrown child
of an aunt who decided that completing “corn maze” was a bucket-list able event. The place was Fritzler Corn Maze in Greely,
which was admittedly amazing. They had
fair food, a barrel train (uh, yeah, like a train made of barrels with wheels, with
elementary school plastic chairs inside them, being pulled by an ATV at like 30
miles per hour), several inflatables for bouncing, slides, and of course two
cannons, one firing ears of corn and a big one for blasting punkin’s. Oh, and the 2 corn mazes they had generated the
elegant form of one Peyton Manning when viewed from above. With
all that, I felt they deserved an endorsement.
I will say that a place like that does a lot to remind us of why we
decided to raise Ian out here. You just
don’t see events like that in an urban setting.
Soon after came Halloween, where Ian was a “chicken”. Why is “chicken” in quotes, you might
ask? It is my belief that the costume
purchased for Ian was a mosaic of multiple costumes that somehow found their
way together… Ridiculous, I know, but I also know that I’ve never seen a
chicken with webbed feet. Then this
month was a birthday party for Ian’s betrothed wife, which was a good time with
plenty of squealing, crying, laughing, and diapers. That’s about it for recent events. As for physical change, Ian has four teeth
out now, and it’s making the sleep situation ridiculous. He actually has been running a fever for the
past few days, too, which makes him super happy, as you may imagine. Also, in
writing this I realized why I didn’t write anything in October… we moved! Left our giant rental house behind for a
smaller place, mostly since we were tired of cleaning that 6-bedroom place, as
well as cleaning out our wallets when the utility bills came. I guess that’ll about wrap it up for our top
stories, so until next time.
