Weekend



10/23/2010: The annual Airshow was held at the Naval base here in town.  Mya has had an obsession with airplanes for some time now so we decided to pack everyone in the car and head to the naval base for some family time and some fun.  The Blue angels are always a big show every year at the airshow.  The tricks that they do in the air are incredible to say the least.  It is always amazing to me how close the planes fly together and how many tricks they can do up in the air.  I know I would get sick if I were in one of those planes.  Mya absolutely loved the planes from a distance.  She didn't like the sounds they made when they did their fly overs.  I have to say it was pretty cute when she would cover her own ears.  She would yell out AIRPANE and smile while saying "they are noisy".  I think this will be an every year trip for the Dimmicks.

After the day at the airshow we decided to go to a corn maze here in florida for a haunted walk through a very intricate maze of corn.  We got a sitter for the night and a couple of our friends and us went up to Callahan FL to visit the Halloween festival they had up there.  They had a very detailed corn maze with 2 different paths.  The first path was a normal maze where you followed along a pathway until the path split.  There would be a post in the ground that would have a multiple choice question that you would have to read and choose an answer.  If you didn't choose correctly then you were lead down a path that would get you even more lost then the maze would.  After about 45 minutes the four of us finished this side of the maze.  It was quite creepy being in the middle of a corn field in the pitch black of night.  After we did the 1st side my buddy kyle and I decided to do the haunted side.  The girls wouldn't go with us...what wimps!!  I must say that if they had gone with us then I am quite sure that neither myself or kyle would be sleeping at night because the girls would have been scared to death.  We finished the haunted side and went to find the girls.  they had signed us up for a hay ride...what fun...(there might be some sarcasm in that).  The festival also had hot chocolate, smores, and other activities.  It was alot of fun and will definately be visiting the festival again.  Maybe next time we will go during the day so that Mya can come.  Stay tuned for more.....

Mya's First Pumpkin Patch



We decided to take Mya to her very first pumpkin patch on a Thursday night.  The local church down the road was doing a pumpkin patch to raise funds.  We went and needless to say Mya had a blast.  The smile on her face was worth every minute.  We walked in through a path of scarecrows all decorated up as the entrance to the patch.  There was even a little flock of sheep made out of pumpkins.  Mya loved them.  We then walked through what seemed like endless rows of pumpkins.  Mya crawled over and under and through each and everyone of them.  Of course she needed to touch every single one of them so that we could find the perfect one.  As we walked through the rows and rows of pumpkins we saw that there was a little maze for the children.  Mya wanted very badly to go through this maze.  It was amazing how quickly she navigated through the difficult maze.  I honestly only made it through because I could see over the tiny walls..haha.  After the maze we went back and decided to pick 2 of the pumpkins that Mya had picked out.  She is a very good pumpkin picker if I do say so myself.  Our first trip to a pumpkin path as a family was a huge success.  We will be carving the pumpkins this weekend :)  Stay tuned....

Test Blog

Surprise...We have decided to start a blog so that our family and friends can keep up with how the Dimmick family is growing.  Mya is now 2 and is growing with each and every day.  I can not believe that it has been 2 years.  She is growing so fast.  I still see my little baby girl when I look at her.  She makes me smile and she makes me laugh each and every day.
