The Corn Maze

WE HAD SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN TONIGHT AT THE CORN MAZE.
I'LL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT LATER, BUT I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE THE PICTURES WITH YOU NOW!!!!!!!


Rich got tickets for all of us, even grandma and grandpa, to go to the local corn maze on trade! We even got $5 concession each, so we were ready and set to have fun at the corn maze. We walked in, past the ticket booth, and didn't know where to start, there was just so much to see and do. So we started off walking past the animals. We saw peacocks, turkeys, and goats. The kids loved them! The kids walked through a hale bale maze. And then we hit the ducky race, where you pump the water to make the ducks go faster. Sophie then ran for the giant slide built on haybales!! Next to that was a little slide playground, with medium slide, more Peters speed. He even climbed up the rope ladder alone. We all went on the little train, Sophie was in heaven!! That was her favorite part and went again and again. Peter only wanted to go once and then headed for the Pumpkin Bounce. Grandpa and Rich did a corn shoot. Peter helped Rich line up the target and hit the target. Rich missed on his own... So did grandpa... We all enjoyed eating our treats around the campfire. Kettle Corn popcorn and apple blossoms (cut up apples drenched in carmel, whipcream and nuts!!) and nachos.

Sophie thought up this pose on her own for the kids, turned out pretty good!

I thought this picture turned out nice.

I was so proud of Peter, climbing without hesitation!


Even Max loved the slides, with Rich.


Here's all the ducky racing...


Love Sophie's face in this one!!


Peter could have spent the day in the Pumpkin Bounce!



THE TRAIN!!
It rode through a path in the corn field, and then around in circles and turns.
A very bumpy and entertaining ride!!
Sophie's favorite, she went a dozen times, mostly by herself!



Love the 'corn' box!

It was so much fun to share the day with Grandma and Grandpa!!

And of course, the reason for the event, the Corn Maze itself! We did find ourselves going in circles once! When we left we could hear the haunted corn maze in the area next to our regular corn maze. By then, both kids were crying and Max was asleep. Peter was crying because he could hear all the haunting and screaming going on, and he was too close. Sophie was crying because she could hear the haunting and screaming, and she wasn't close enough! She was dying to go to the haunted corn maze!!! She is so adventurous! Maybe next year...

Attending a corn maze, with all the bells and whistles WILL become a new Halloween Tradition!
