What a nightmarish and ghoulish event! Not in the Halloween sense. Sounded like a fantastic idea...work your way through a corn maize by answering trivia questions. We showed our true colors that day when each family member had his or her own emotional meltdown in one form or another.
All was going smoothly until about the 3rd question when Avery decided that his legs no longer worked and pulled one of his sit down on the ground, head in hands crying episodes. Stupid mom suggested a piggy back ride. Sounds easy, right? Carrying a toddler on your back to most would be a breeze, but Avery is a stocky 35lbs. and does not hold on to your neck which in turn forces the parent to suspend their arms backwards supporting his bottom.
To keep a long story short, it seemed like an eternity that we were stuck on one question trying to find our way out, but in reality it was probably 30 mins. max. It will definitely be something we will always look back on and laugh.
Avery still got an 'A' for effort and got his caramel apple when we got home.
