Crazy for Corn..and Shrimp

The kids were off from school Thursday and Friday. They kicked off their mini break by taking some classes at the Science Museum. Quinn's was "Get Set To Be a Vet" and Cooper's was "My Excellent Vacation"..involving computer animation and Google Maps. They were both mornings 9-12. Ron was off on Thursday so while the kids were at their classes Ron and I had coffee and a croissant at Bread and Chocolate on Grand Avenue and then moseyed around Barnes and Noble finding books to order on the Kindle..We picked the kids up and headed for lunch at Stella's Fish Cafe.Coop and I split a catfish Po' boy...he has some Cajun blood in him and we shared some peel and eat shrimp too..Quinn likes shrimp but she is definately more midwestern. Nothing too spicy for her, ya,you betcha!! We finally made it out to Sever's Corn Maze. It was a gorgeous day and the kids loved it..their favorite of course, was the corn pit. They also enjoyed the petting zoo, the maze and the magician. Quinn rode the pony(and asked if she could get a horse..umm NO!)and Cooper did the corn cob gun. It was not that crowded(surprisingly) and we all got lots of fresh fall air..
