We Finally Found a Corn Maze

 
After a year of searching we finally found a corn maze that was worthy and open! Lyndon has been longing to find a good one for a year now. Every time we found one last year it was always closed when we went. My Momma was in town helping us out with the baby, so we decided to take a day trip out of the city. Apple picking was on our fall bucket list so we made a trip back up to Barton Orchards. We have only gone during the week, but on the weekends they have quite the festivities going on. Plus, the corn maze is open on the weekends.

Happy to have found his corn maze at last. Look how big it is!
The corn maze was huge. We could have spent several hours in there. I think it took us 45 minutes which was not long enough for Lyndon. He wanted to get really lost and spend all afternoon trying to get out.

Happy to have Momma there to enjoy an adventure outside the city. New York state is beautiful. I enjoyed showing her how beautiful our state is.

The cutest skeleton around.


The most handsome skeleton.


I am Frankenstein, it is my favorite gothic novel after all.

Tell Charlie Brown we found the "Great Pumpkin".



We found our corn maze! I am not sure why those two are making that face, maybe they are so astonished we finally found one?

Cosette sitting on a bear carving. there were a couple of guys carving all sorts of different statues with saws. We observed them working for a little bit. So fascinating. They are artist! Cosette ran up to this little bear and plopped right down on it. She wanted to take it home. Maybe if we were have a yard sweet heart.
 
 
Barton Orchards is awesome! I say that because there were all sorts of fun attractions for everyone. And their produce is amazingly delicious. Cosette loved loved loved jumping in the three bounce houses. She also got to ride on a small train and go down a giant slide. She was one happy girl.
 
 
Of course we picked some more apples. We snagged a few empire. We had picked some up at a local farmers market and they were so good. We were craving some more. And we pick a bushel of our favorite Mutsu. We can all proclaim this outing a success!

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
