Today we went on our first pre-scool field trip to Cornbellys. It was also a first for getting lost. Olivia was playing on a train thing with friends. The next thing I know I can't find her. Unfortunately for me- there is a GINORMOUS corn maze just a hop skip and a jump from where we were playing. So- off I go into the very large corn maze- meant to get people LOST! I was frantic. I prayed a lot. Finally I ran into a guy that said he had heard something on the intercom about a lost girl. I ran to the entrance of the place. There she was. Not scared, just bored. I am still not sure what happened.. how she got lost or who found her. I am just SOOO thankful this is a story that I can say "remember when.." rather then being on Oprah as the mom who lost her daughter.
I hated every minute of this incident. I love my little Livie too much to lose her. Oh- on a side note the whole ordeal lasted about 15 minutes (I think,, maybe it was 20? It felt like forever!)

LITTLE STINKER! Was that photo taken before or after her escapade? She certainly looks content. ;) Claire looks mighty suspicious of whoever is taking the picture!
I'm glad you found her. That is soooo scary. I've been there--probably with all three of you at one point or another. The adrenalin racing, the heart pumping, the tears threatening, panic, panic, PANIC!
You're a GREAT mom. She's just a little Houdini--disappearing in an instant.
We went to Pumpkinland today and Hannah got lost! Fortunately only of a minute! We went with friends... And were all playing, I told Hannah and was getting the stroller and went I went to get her... she was gone! Then I see a kind lady with my crying Hannah! Whew!
Glad it all worked out! Its scary!
I was watching CNBC about self made millionares and on that show was the owner of Cornbellys. He designs these mazes and sells the plans all over the world. Just interesting stuff.
oh my goodness! I feel so bad that you had to go through that. I would have been going crazy! I am glad everything worked out and she was safe!!
That's scary! It's a sickening feeling when you lose your child. Glad everything turned out ok. Cute picture!
That's really scary!!! I'm so glad she's okay!
We've SO been there. Very scary. Ask Sherri and Gary to tell you about the time we were at a 4th of July celebration and it was POURING rain and we lost Rachel. I was running through the rain trying not to just bawl. 20 minutes can feel like an eternity!
I am so sorry. Glad you found her alright and that she wasn't to traumatized by it.
I'm so glad she was okay. Sorry you had to go through that. Funny that 5 minutes before she got lost I had said "Oh this little area is so nice. It's pretty easy to keep track of your kids here..." I guess when the kids stay in that little area, it's easy. Next field trip, I think the kids will stay closer. :)
I'm glad you found Livie! That is so scary... It would have scared me worse than the actual haunted corn maze! The picture is ADORABLE! You are the cutest family.
I will see if I can put the guessing game thingy on my blog-- I'm not sure how...
