Mapleside Farms

After we went apple picking I took Alekisio to hang out with my friend Julie, her husband Dave, and her son Mikey. We went to Mapleside Farms and let the kids run wild. There was a bouncy slide, play area with a fort, apple dumplings, a corn maze, a hill to roll down, and a hayride. Alekisio was most excited to hang out with Mikey. He doesn't have alot of kids to play with here his age so ever since we went to the splash park this summer he couldn't wait to hang out with him again. They rolled down the huge hill and ran around like crazy. I know they played hard because Sio fell asleep in the middle of eating his onion rings five minutes into the ride home. The corn maze was cute because they made it a scavenger hunt so the kids weren't bored walking through. I mean a maze isn't really super exciting when you're that age. We took flashlights for the maze when it got dark but we finished just as it got dark so the boys ran around playing with them until the hayride. It was a great night but for me the best part was hanging out with Julie. I don't really have friends here and it would be great to make friends at church but honestly I used to try and say hi to the ladies my age at church but I gave up because I'm not going to force people to befriend me and they don't ever say hi. It was nice to hang out with someone who, although I haven't been around her for years, cares and it's easy hanging out not forced. Anyway enough about that. Sio had a ton of fun and it was great watching how happy he was. He's enjoying the fall as much as I am!
