Time for the Corn Maze November 8, 2009

Favorite Picture of the Day

Every year, locally, there is a corn maze.  And every year I think that it may be worth trying and we have never tried it.  So this  year I decided that it was time.  Nate had to work today so I was trying to do something outdoors with the kids that would be a little different.  After the kids got up from nap today, we headed to the corn maze at Maryland Sunrise Farm. 

As you can see from the aerial view, we did not do the whole thing.  In fact, we did a very small part.  But the kids thought that it was great.  They took turns pushing Kaitlyn and being the line leader.  I of course had the map to make sure that we did not go too far.

After the maze, we did some of the activities that were set up outside the maze.  The kids got on the tractor and acted as if they were driving it.  Followed by the small kids maze which the kids loved.

As with most farms, the kids had the opportunity to put their heads through the holes and pose as animals.  Don’t ask me why Rachael really wanted to be the horse.

They also had a huge pile of hay for the kids to jump in; which is nice considering we do not have enough leaves on our property to make a huge pile for them to jump in.  Even Kaitlyn got into it!

This is where the saying ‘Save the Best for Last’ must come from.  The kids really wanted to go on the Kids Cow Train.  I decided that we had already been on two different tractor/ hay rides this season and that we were not going to pay to go on another one.  So the kids asked if they could go and look at the Cow Train.  Before I knew it, the gentleman that worked there offered to take us for a ride.  And the smile on the kids faces made it all worth it.  And wouldn’t you know, that was their favorite part of day!

*Here is a quick note about the picture at the top.  In order to get all three kids to look at me, I put my cell phone on speaker and Nate called their names.  And it worked!!!
