Earlier this week, I told you about the fun Ryan and I had at the coffee tasting a few days ago. Well...last week, we went on another fun date, so I'm going to tell you about that one today!
Ten years ago, right after we got engaged, we had a special date-day together. We went to a Tim Hawkins concert in Fort Wayne and on the way home, we stopped at Steele Farms to pick pumpkins, go through the corn maze, and meet up with my friends Jonathan and Julie. That was the first time Ryan met them! And now...we all live in this general area together and Jonathan is our pastor! Who knew? God did.
Last week, our church had a family night at Steele Farms, so we went again. (I've been back a handful of times since we got married, but this was our first time to be back together!)
We had a GORGEOUS night!!!!
Got to see the animals...
And the church provided a meal for everyone, which was so nice. We sat with some new friends and got to know them a little better. (I didn't ask for pictures of them in the interest of trying to ease in as the Bekahrazzi. But they so kindly took one of us!
After dinner, we wandered around and had some fun in the corn maze and with photo props. We will have to go back so we can redo the one photo prop picture from ten years ago. I failed to double check my documentation before we went and didn't realize I needed that one!
This story was my favorite part of the corn maze:
Of course, we're still new and don't know a lot of people - especially the kids. While we were walking around in the corn maze, we happened upon a couple of girls. They were giggling and running around and one stopped to talk to us for a second. Here's how the conversation went toward the end of her talking to us:
Girl #1 (to us): Bye!
Girl #2: Stop talking to them! They're strangers!
Girl #1: They're not strangers. They go to our church!
Girl #2: Yes, but we don't KNOW them!
*They scamper off into the corn.
Me to Ryan: Valid point.
Ryan to Me: Yep. Can't argue with that. But it was still funny.
Such a fun night! We stayed until the sun went down and then headed home for coffee.
If you're in the area, I totally recommend visiting Steele Farms! We may be a little biased, since the owners are our friends, but even before they were our friends, this was one of my favorite places to visit. Lots of fun for everyone!

What a fun date night!
Last week, I had a sub helping in 2nd grade, who had been with them before a few times. A child was about to fly to Israel and the sub gave her charity money (it's tradition to give people money to give to charity when they land to merit a safe trip) and the little girl goes "I can't take money from strangers!"
She wasn't wrong!
