Tyler decided to go and get another year older. We celebrated his 11th birthday by going to the straw maze in Archer. We let him bring his friend Lucas along. We all split into groups. Tyler and Lucas, McKenna and Kylie, and then Braden, Allen and I. Kylie didn't want to go in a seperate group, but we thought it would be good for her and McKenna. After 15 minutes into the maze, Allen and I were feeling bad for having them go seperately. What bad parents we were, etc. After about 20 minutes into the maze, Allen and I found our way out and started talking with the owner. He told us the girls were the first to come out - after only 10 min into the maze, they waited for 5 min and then decided to go back in to help the boys out - who made their way back to the entrance, but not the exit. We thought that was really funny and the girls felt extremely good about themselves!
They all enjoyed their time in the maze, it wasn't crowded and it was still light enough to go through all the tunnels without a flashlight. It was a fun activity for everyone except Braden who I think was bummed he had to be with the old folks.
After the straw maze we came back home and had dinner (hot dogs and pasta salad - his choice), cake, ice cream and presents. So easy.
I can't believe Ty is 11. He is such a great kid and we are so proud of him. He is an awesome big brother - and Braden LOVES him to pieces. He is talented and smart and we are so grateful he is in our family!
