Teacher inservice means Amanda has to make plans again.

Sunday night is the night that I plan out our week.  And seeing that there is no school on Thursday and Friday due to teacher in-service, I am planning things to do on those days.  I've checked the weather and, yeah, it's finally cool enough to take the kids to the Bruneau sand dunes.  

On Friday, we plan to go to the Maize.  They have designed the maze around the presidential candidates.  As you enter, you are faced with the choice of going right or left.  Very clever.  They are open on Thursday and Friday beginning at noon since there is no school.  Otherwise, they open at 4:00 on weekdays.  I remember the first time I took the girl to Wagner Farms.  I didn't know they weren't open until 4:00 pm.  (They let us in anyway and we had the whole place to ourselves.  It was great.)  Now I'm always sure to check the hours of operations before I go anywhere.

Our family always looks forward to Meridian's Scarecrow Festival.  We've been for the last three or four or five years.  I can't remember.  It's always the first weekend of October and we go on Friday right after school.  There's pumpkin bowling, a really cool trampoline, rock climbing, vendors, pumpkin painting, kids crafts, and more.  Sadly enough, they're not having the Scarecrow Festival this year, rather a Harvest Festival.  It's one day only and it looks really lame.  

Speaking of scarecrows, check out the scarecrows at the Idaho Botanical Garden.  We are planning on doing this soon.  It looks really fun.

What are your plans for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday?

Thanks for your comment. Have fun at the corn maze.

I just found your blog and really enjoy the posts. We live in Kuna and I have grown up in ID but am always looking for fun things to do with the kids.

Hey Suzanne, I'm so glad you found the blog. Please feel free to share any ideas that you have. What part of Idaho did you grow up in?

OK so how were the dunes and the MAIZE - looks like so much fun - do they have it up still at Thanksgiving time?

Amanda said...

My next post will be about the Maize and then the dunes. They take the Maize down after Halloween. But we will find you something fun to do when you come for Thanksgiving.

Yeah, we didn't really do anything. I was hosting a baby shower (hence al the left over cake) so we just cleaned house.

And it SOOOOO was not you that I hit! I swear. I would have remembered if it was you. It wasn't really you, right. You are kidding...

Camille--no it wasn't me. I was only joking. We all do stupid stuff on accident sometimes. Especially as teenagers.

is this picture recent? she looks tiny!

Amanda said...

Gina, this is not a recent picture of Bella. I think she as three and a half. So she looks more tiny than usual.
