Dia de los Muertos ... Celebrate the Family Generations!
Dia de los Muertos
November 1, 200910 a.m. to 6 p.m.
This year, Carolyn's Country Cousins is extending our season to include November 1, and joining our friends and the Hispanic community in the celebration of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead.
This celebration dates back more than 3,000 years to the indigenous people of Mexico, who viewed death not as the end of life, but as the continuation of life. Instead of fearing death, they embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake.
Dia de los Muertos is truly a day of celebration. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died with much dancing, food, and laughter. Dancers are common in the celebration, as well as alters adorned with small items of memory indicating a celebration of the continuation of a loved family member’s life.
Family celebration is very much who we are and what we do. This will be a great time to learn, share and celebrate family and friends. We are proud to have this opportunity to partner with Reyes Media ( La Gran D 1340 AM Radio, Ke Buena 1480 AM Radio, and Dos Mundos Newspaper).

Hy Vee Soybean Maze
This is Grandpa Gene working in the Hy Vee Soybean Maze. I get confused! But he cleans out the weeds in the Hy Vee Maze and all the corners in the BIG corn maze. He takes pride in making the property look fantastic for all who visit. He really does a nice job.

2009 Recipient of Recycling Grant
We are the recipient of a recycling grant from Mid America Regional Council, Solid waste Management District and Missouri Department of Natural Resources. We are pleased. This will help us with a nagging problem that we didn't have a good answer for. Plastic Pop Bottles. Over 9,000 Plastic Pop Bottles, in our short season!
We have a plan and will have blue recycling units for collection. The cool part ... the units are made from about 350 recycled milk jugs. MAX-r claims that per every recycled plastic bottle, it saves enough energy to power a 60 watt light bulb for 3 hrs.

Recent Article
Carolyn pointed out an interesting article today.
It said that today's children are spending dramatically less time in unstructured outdoor play than past generations. When children get to interact with nature they enjoy formative experiences that challenge their minds, bodies and spririts and help all three grow. It further went on to say that the many benefits of outdoor play and nature activities include: improved thinking skills and creativity; better motor skills and physical fitness; and less psychological stress.
When kids "unplug" and go outside it's a different level of interation and experience than they get anywhere else.
Very interesting article!

Parking Lot
Parking Lot recycled. To create a firm base the grass is allowed to grow. It is then rolled, moved, and transformed to become the big hay maze.
