October High Jinks

Mr. Spontaneous rides again. Last night about 5:30 Adam announced we should go to a corn maze. Our kids have been wanting us to go and it hasn't ever been squeezed in...until last night.

We went to Stocker Farm in Snohomish. The maze looks like this:


But really, when you climb up on one of the bridges for a view,



it looks like this:



If you've been feeling guilty because your kids have been wanting to go to a corn maze and you haven't taken them, you can stop. It wasn't THAT exciting. The kids loved it but they also love things like skittles and corn dogs so can you trust them?

Besides, there were scary things in the corn:


After the corn maze we went to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in Snohomish, El Paraiso. I know (because two of my Spanish speaking siblings told me) that I don't pronounce it correctly but I love the food. They have homemade corn tortillas that are probably similar to the ambrosia the gods ate on Mount Olympus in ancient Greek times.

They also have really fabulous decor.

Notice the duct tape on the flamingo and the rubber ducks on the edge of the fountain.

Mark threw a penny in the fountain and took great care to make a good wish.


And one of the scary creatures from the corn followed us there.
