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.....
