For Declan's actual birthday, he chose to go to The Amazing Maize Maze....7 acres of trying to find your way out! Again my pictures are backwards....somebody help me!
Here they are doing The Amazing Maize birthday candles. They have everyone in the maze raise their flags (candles) and then Declan blew them out (everyone dropped their flag). It was pretty cool to see and he was thrilled.

This year's theme was fitness. In the maze there was the shape of a runner, swimmer and biker. Here is Declan at the Golden Shoe near the exit.
There were all kinds of fitness tidbits to learn along the way. We weren't too interested in getting all the crossword puzzle words from the clues. We were more into getting all 12 puzzle pieces to the maze. As you get each piece, it helps you find your way, sort of. The piece you find is where you are but you still have to find all the pieces of the map you can't see.
Finding a map piece was a celebration each time. We are proud to say we found each one. We will quietly say that we collaborated with a couple towards the end. They had one more to find and so did we. We met, exchanged a few directions (they didn't tell us exactly but gave us some good hints as we did for them) and we found our last piece.
These tractors are just like the one Rich has or rather his parents have from his childhood.
It was a beautiful day, quite a challenge and a lot of fun. We ended the night at the Ethiopian restaurant, Declan's choosing. He wanted a plate of lamb tibs all to himself...he happily sat and ate up!
