52 Ways to Have Fun without Alcohol. . . a series.

I was going to make it 101 ways, but I wasn't sure if I could do that all on my own. I figured, if I can come up with 52 then you have at least one a week to try out.

So with no further delay

1. Tonight we gathered a few friends (both Mormon and otherwise) and headed to Snohomish, WA to visit Stocker Farm's corn maze. It was great fun. Under what other circumstances are adults permitted to run around in the dark, chasing after one another, and not have the cops called on them? We first found our way thorough the maze together as a group, then we decided that a game was in order.
Each of us ran alone into the maze (and we are talking about several acres of corn,) in two minute intervals. We ran walked or jogged through the maze looking for one another. We weren't allowed to exit the maze until we were all in a group again. It took us about 40 min or so to all find one another. When we did, we then decided to race to the end. Women vs. Men. The men won, as Tzarina and I stopped to try to decide if we should stay in the maze and let the men worry about what happened to us, or if we were done and ready for something to warm us up. The call of Apple Cider was stronger than our desire to scare our male counterparts, and we met up with them soon after.
We moved our party to a little known coffee shop called Starbucks, enjoyed some caramel apple cider and hot chocolate, and engaged in stimulating conversation, something often missing from alcoholcentric get togethers.
A very enjoyable evening.
