Corn Maze!

Ryan and I have been trying harder lately to get out of the house and intentionally do fun things as a family. Today we went to McCoard's Corn Maze -- our first time ever going to a corn maze! We had tried to go on Monday for Family Home Evening, but Ryan had to work late and the kids were behind on homework. I'm glad that it didn't work out Monday because today was much warmer!

We started off in the "big kid" corn maze, They had a game to play as you were in the maze, that is similar to Clue. We had to find the different checkpoints on the maze map, but there were also clues at other markers in the maze that were not listed on the map. Nathan was our guide, and he did a great job!

This was my view most of the time -- I was happy to let them figure out where we were going!

By the end of the maze, Elizabeth and Joshua were tired.

After we finished in the corn maze, the kids got to each do another activity. Elizabeth and Benjamin did the barrel ride.

Nathan and Joshua each got to shoot the corn cannon. The targets were old beat-up trucks!

I didn't get a picture of Joshua doing it, but he had fun even though he's covering his ears for Nathan's turn!

We finished up with a few free activities.

 Stick 'em up!

Cattle roping

Duck Racing -- the water pumps are a fun way to do this!

Each kid picked out a pumpkin from the patch before it was time to go home. This was a fun way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon -- I'm sure we'll be back next year!
