Corn Maze

We live less than a mile away from a farm in what used to be a rural area but it now just outside of town. We pass the cornfield and cows every time we go to town and each and every single time, we moo on the way by. They make a corn maze during the fall each year. We saw it last year as we were looking for our house, but were too busy to even think about taking our crew through it. We had thought we lost the chance to go because it has become very cold and wet here. The sun came out today though and Marvin was home. We could not think of anything better to do than pay to get lost in a cornfield! The boys had a BLAST!

This was my view for most of the journey!


Our goal was to find each of six punch stations and punch our card with each unique shape


Sarah wants her card punched too!


The boys taking a quick break to look at some cow poop. Such boys!


We could hear the cows the whole time we were in the corn. When we came around the corner and saw them through this little path, the girls and Josh were SO excited!


It got a little bit tough there at the end. We were hungry, getting cold, and my feet were killing me(those darn boots!). But we found the last punch station(possibly with the help of our camera phone and the map found at punch station 3...) and were so excited to find our way to the exit sign.


Corn on the cob is Sarah's most favorite thing in the world. Seriously, the girl can put away 3 full ears at one sitting and still want more. The whole time we were walking through the maze, she kept pointing and yelling "CORN!!!!!!" It was really cute at first, but 2 miles into the maze, it was getting just a little bit old! I am so excited to share these things as our children are getting old enough to enjoy them. It is so nice to be able to have fun with my family instead of just bringing them along while I have fun!
