The one with the maize maze.

I'm a bit behind on the blogging, so I'm going to steal soon-to-be-family's work on the Lewis family blog. There are some other great pics on from the Crowley blog, but it's VIP access only. Christina has a great album posted on her Facebook page, if you're cool enough to be one of her friends.

Mike used his fancy iPhone to shoot a picture of the maze map (shown to us at the entrance to the maze). After sufficiently humoring ourselves getting lost after 5 minutes, it was time to break out the phone and map. It was decided to hand the phone to me. After finally figuring out where we were, getting us out was easy. It was a pretty impressive maze - I think they said over 5 miles in paths. And even cooler, the maze was made in the shape of a vintage row crop tractor. Check out the image on the Lewis blog above - it's hard to see, but I'm sure the die hards can make it out.

Here are a few pics that I snagged on my camera phone.


The family in awe of a Farmall H. You'd think they'd never seen one before - wierd.


Tyler trying out the driver's seat. Tori is not impressed.


Here's the three little dumplings.... eeeehhheeemm... pumpkins.


Dude - this kid is 5 years old. OK, going on 6 soon, but still. The apple does not fall far from the tree at the orchard.


Miles and Andrea trying out the ag lifestyle.

The one with a big fire - got Bush?

Last Friday, the brothers' Bush hosted a bonfire extravaganza. There were times where fire hit more than 25ft in the air. Despite being a brisk 40 degrees, we were all PLENTY warm.


Friends gathering around the flames, rotating face to butt so as not to burn our clothes in the radiant heat.


Rob sharing a tale of terror. Hats off to a great salesman.


Dill with Rob's fiance, Katie. He's not normally that friendly - he just wanted one of her Marb's...


Jimmy and Dill sharing in mans' excitement of the power of fire. This is just before it started rolling... they were gritting their teeth shouting at me to take the picture faster. She was HOT.


No, no, no... we'd never burn a tire.

The one where Biden instills his ignorance... LOL

Yeah, that's right, right around 1:50 where he says how he has to instill confidence in the American people that he knows what he's talking about... 1:54 when he says he knows what he's talking about. LOL. PLEEEEEASE. "...listen to me and follow what I'm suggesting, we can fix this..."

1:59... this is great... "...when the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television..."

First off, the President of the USA in 1929 when the stock market crashed was Herbert Hoover, not Franklin Roosevelt (Wikipedia on Hoover) (Market crash of 1929) (Whitehouse back-up Reference) .

Secondly, the standard for broadcast TV (NTSC) wasn't developed until 1941, delivered via NBC (owned by RCA) and CBS. (Reference) (Reference 2) And it was largely put on hold due to Hitler and his ridiculous notions. TV wasn't largely available in the US until the ealry '50s - approximately 50% of households had TV by 1955. FYI. Just in case you were wondering.

Too bad Al Gore didn't invent the TV earlier! LOL!!! Thanks to Chad for that great comment!!

The one picking on prison guard Katie Couric

Awesome article.

The one where McCain's health plan DOESN'Ttax health care insurance benefits - read it

Wall Street Journal, my friends... believe it.

Read the article and do the thinking for yourself.

The one where Barney Frank can't admit he's in the wrong

The one to stay tuned to what's going on...

Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
